Critics Review

‘You can’t go wrong with Miss Maud Silver’

Praise for Patricia Wentworth:

I like Wentworth very much - she captures the mores of pre-war middle class England perfectly, and she writes rather better than Christie. They are romantic cosies, of course, but with an edge to them and an intelligence to the writing that has lasted. - Andrew Taylor

Miss Silver is marvellous - Daily Mail

You can t go wrong with Miss Maud Silver. - Observer

Miss Silver has her place in detective fiction as surely as Lord Peter Wimsey or Hercule Poirot - Manchester Evening News

Miss Wentworth is a first-rate storyteller - Daily Telegraph

Patricia Wentworth has created a great detective in Miss Silver, the little old lady who nobody notices, but who in turn notices everything - Paula Gosling
