An old Misss Silver mystery. Anyone who loves the oldies will love her.

This is a 'turn the page' mystery, almost a suspense. There are a lot of characters, but Ms. Wentworth does a good job of keeping them straight. I like the mystery format. The reader gets the characters and the mystery and Scotland Yard. Then, Miss Silver magically appears on the scene and solves the case. Miss Silver seems secondary to the story even though she comes through at the end. Recommend.
