Patricia Wentworth’s Dark Threat
Just when I thought these were getting formulaic, this one managed to surprise me! But I don’t want to give spoilers so I’ll just say Miss Silver comes into it earlier than usual, which I always like, and we get to see her interact with two of her police detective protégés, which I also find enjoyable. The plot involves a man who fears someone is trying to kill him to prevent the sale of the family home, and the suspect pool is therefore pretty small. More interesting late-war/post-war stuff too. I do hope some of this gets revisited though. A-.
