1. The Case of William Smith - This is one of my absolute favorites even though Miss Silver doesn't have the largest role. The characters are all likable and the mystery is oh so intriguing.
2. The Girl in the Cellar - Another mystery with amnesia and this one has more Miss Silver which is always a good thing. This is the last Miss Silver mystery but it is just as solid and readable as any of them.
3. The Case is Closed - Is Geoffrey Grey guilty of the murder of his uncle? The evidence says overwhelming yes but his wife says no. Luckily, Miss Silver is here to save the day and it's an absolutely delightful read.
4. She Came Back - The glamorous Lady Anne was presumed dead in occupied France. Life had moved on until she suddenly waltzes back into her old life. Murders and mayhem follow but Miss Silver is here to sort everything (and everyone) out.
5. The Alington Inheritance - Family secrets, unknown identities, and missing wills lead to a really fun read with an ominous setting.
The one Patricia Wentworth I wouldn't recommend is the first one - The Grey Mask - it's fine but it has none of the charm and sparkle that her other mysteries do.
Have you read any Patricia Wentworth? Who is your favorite underrated author?
I finally received a Wentworth loan from the library, digital of course, and was well aggravated that it was adobe format! I couldn’t open it on my tablet (sob). I have been wanting a few if her books so I guess it’s Amazon fie me!
ReplyDeleteNice list.
I’m not familiar with this author at all, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love your lists and this is a genre I enjoy, so I earmarked a few that caught my eye :)
ReplyDeleteYou are making me want to pull out classic mysteries now :) I've only read one book by this author but I remember enjoying it - but for the life of me I can't think of the title off of the top of my head. Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely set of books, Katherine:) This looks like a great series.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have read any of hers though I have heard of her. Which would be a good first book to read?
ReplyDeleteNot tried this author but since you like her I need to give her a try!
ReplyDeleteThose are fabulous designs on the covers of the books. I think I've heard of her, but not sure. I'm not sure who my favorite underrated author would be. For one thing, I don't really know for sure which authors are underrated.
ReplyDeletebe well!... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
I'm not familiar with her either but I can see why you have been hooked by her books and yes aren't the covers wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of her books, but you've convinced me I need to give her mysteries a try.
ReplyDeleteThese sound good. I never read this author.
