She and Ngaio Marsh are authors I gave up reading a long time ago, but I am more patient with them now, and when I feel like reading something enjoyable and not-too-demanding, I find myself reaching for one of these two.

I have quite a few, both on Kindle and in paperback. And I read quite a few years ago... I need to pick one or two to read soon. The book I am reading now has the same issue with someone wearing another person's clothing and getting killed in her place (we assume).TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-13312762870805483452015-06-27T22:18:53.046+01:002015-06-27T22:18:53.046+01:00I feel like I'm gatecrashing a party....I have...I feel like I'm gatecrashing a party....I have something by her not sure what...or when it will be read.col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-81904979967479403342015-06-27T10:21:56.624+01:002015-06-27T10:21:56.624+01:00I will treat any such with suspicion when I come t...I will treat any such with suspicion when I come to them Vicki.

And yes, Miss Silver has certainly grown on me - I read a couple many years ago and was very neutral to them, but now I am enjoying reading my way through them in a leisurely manner.

There's another volume where someone borrows a scarf and goes for a moonlight walk, only to be killed, but this one has always stuck with me because I could actually SEE that coat. And the black and yellow castoff that makes people think the retired actress looks like a wasp LOL. <br />But I don't think you'll ever truly be surprised by the ending of a Miss Silver novel because I think the writer would consider that to be a failure. I don't think Wentworth was trying to achieve "Aha!!" but more like, "Oh, I KNEW that character was evil!"<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-90142044094101146812015-06-26T13:43:25.108+01:002015-06-26T13:43:25.108+01:00Moira, this is one of your all-time best!

Hmmm...really interesting! I had to chuckle at your description of Wentworth world. Still, there are some things to really enjoy about these books; and although I wouldn't have really noticed it before getting to know you and your great blog, she did indeed do some great description of clothes. And I think Miss Silver really can grow on one. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
