Patricia Wentworth's The Clock Strikes Twelve
Looks like I’m back on my bullshit, ie reading classic mysteries! In this one, Miss Silver is called in to deal with a case involving stolen blueprints (this was written in and is set during WWII), an estranged married couple, a complicated set of family members, and murder. I will say that in these books (so far) it’s always clear who the villains aren’t, because they’re always young couples who will get a happy ending, but this was an interesting enough mystery anyway. My one minor complaint is that Miss Silver is always COUGHING! (Presumably, politely clearing her throat?) I started to wish for someone to hand her a lozenge, they had lozenges in the 1940s, right? B+.
