A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

Praise for Patricia Wentworth:

Miss Wentworth is a first-rate storyteller (Daily Telegraph)

'Miss Silver is marvellous' (Daily Mail)

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

You can't go wrong with Maud Silver (Observer)

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Mary Stokes was walking through Dead Man's Copse one evening when she saw, in the beam of a torch, the corpse of a young woman dressed in a black coat, black gloves, no hat and an eternity ring set with diamonds in her ear.

This would have been mystery enough for Miss Silver to solve if a woman had not also reported that her lodger had gone out on Friday dressed in a black coat, black beret, black shoes and large hoop earrings 'set all round with little diamonds like those eternity rings.' She never came back...
