The Clock Strikes Twelve
The Clock Strikes Twelve | Patricia Wentworth
2 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
New Year's Eve, 1940, is unusual for the Paradine family. Departing from tradition, James Paradine makes a speech that changes the course of many lives. Valuable documents have disappeared. A member of the family has taken them. The culprit has until midnight to confess and return the papers. A few minutes after twelve James Paradine is dead. It is left to Miss Silver to disentangle the threads that bind the Paradine family in a strange web of dislike, hatred and fear.

"No one has said the word before. It came crashing to the midst of them like a stone through a window. The silence splintered." Great #quote. #mystery #classicmystery #historicalmystery.

The Clock Strikes Twelve is my #NewYears #mystery. It's a classic gathering-of-the-family-for-the-holiday mystery with murderous results. It's similar to Agatha #Christie's Crooked House or Hercule Poirot's Christmas. Interesting passing mentions about World War II. #classicmystery #historicalmystery
