Eternity Ring
Eternity Ring | Patricia Wentworth
3 posts | 4 read | 1 to read
The postwar English countryside is rocked by murder and a vanishing corpse in this classic mystery perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers. Det. Sgt. Frank Abbot of Scotland Yard thought hed spend a quiet holiday at his familys estate near the quaint village of Deeping. Instead, he got intrigue and wild tales of a man dragging a horribly murdered girl into the Deeping Woods. Naturally he calls his friend, the private detective Miss Maud Silver, to take a look. But things take a turn when no one can locate the body of the rumored victim, and the only witness suffers a broken neck. One thing is certain, however: The pastoral peace of this town masks something far more sinister. Its a puzzling turn for Miss Silver, a retired schoolteacher with a fondness for knitting and reading Tennyson who has found a new career as a private enquiry agentwho has her place in detective fiction as surely as Lord Peter Wimsey or Hercule Poirot (Manchester Evening News).

Cozy Golden Age mysteries are a comfort read for me, even if some of them feel very dated in their attitudes toward women. In this series, Miss Silver comes across as a less “fluffy“ Miss Marple.

Also happy I was able to fill the “Musical instrument on the cover“ prompt for #52bookclub, with the church organ on the cover of my edition.

kwmg40 @Librarybelle The Miss Silver books are hit or miss but they're always a nice light easy read and I did enjoy this one a lot. 3mo

Hooked_on_books Nice find! That‘s the prompt I‘m finding most challenging. 3mo
kwmg40 @Hooked_on_books I found this prompt really challenging too, and then I discovered this book on my shelf. I hadn't even recognized it as a church organ when I first looked at it! 😂 3mo

Going to try to finish my latest Miss Silver mystery, before tackling laundry and other chores. Must see if I'm right about the culprit!

LeahBergen I still need to try a Miss Silver! 4y
quietjenn @LeahBergen they aren't quite as clever as some of the other classic mysteries - I can usually figure out the ending - but they always have a nice atmosphere and I find them satisfying. 4y
