Miss Silver Mystery series book 28

Miss Silver is called in by a Miss Paine, who has "overheard" a conversation
between two men in a London art gallery. They had thought that they were far
enough away not to be overheard - they did not realise that Miss Paine was
stone deaf, but could lip read perfectly. When she finds out that the gallery
attendant has inadvertently told them this, she is concerned enough to involve
Miss Silver - and when she is the victim of a "hit and run" accident,
it begins to look as if she was right to be worried!

Patricia Wentworth writes gentle mystery stories, based on her private detective,
Miss Silver. Unlike Agatha Christie's Miss Marple, Miss Silver is a professional -
albeit an unlikely one. As an ex-governess, she understands people, and they seem
to confide in her. As luck would have it, a Scotland Yard detective was one of
her pupils when she reigned over the schoolroom, and when they meet on a case,
she usually manages to solve the mystery! Her books are set in or just after World
War 2, and the incidental details in the books reflect the way life in Britain was
then. If you enjoy modern mystery stories that provide graphic descriptions of
blood and gore, Patricia Wentworth's books will not be for you. If, on the other
hand, you enjoy classic mysteries with well-drawn characters, and a hint of the
darker side of life, then give her a try.
