This is just another excellent mystery from Ms. Wentworth. I think the personal relationship between two of the main characters was one she hadn't used before. If she did I don't remember it, and this is the 20th or 21st book of hers I've read.

However, I was immensely proud of myself for figuring out who did the killing and how it was arranged so it was overlooked by the police. --- :-) --- And I did it before Miss Silver reveals it. Of course, it helps if you've read hundreds of mysteries, including ones which used the misleading plot device in this book. Since this was written in 1952, I wonder if Ms. Wentworth was the first to use this plot device. Wouldn't surprise me.
