The Case of William Smith
The Case of William Smith | Patricia Wentworth
2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
An amnesiac Holocaust survivor steps into a mystery that only Miss Silver can solve William Smith is not sure what his name is, but he doubts it’s William Smith, the name the Nazis gave him when he wandered out of one of their hospitals in 1942, to be herded, along with so many others, into one of their nightmarish camps. They did their best to kill this man without a name, but he survived because a man with no identity has nothing to fear. Now, the war over, he is back in England, ready to make a new life. But even a man with no past cannot escape history. William Smith is about to find himself enmeshed in a terrifying mystery, which only Maud Silver, the staunch, old-fashioned detective, can solve. He may yet learn his name, but it could cost him his life.

New bedtime read: another classic murder mystery series. I‘ve read one or two Miss Silver books but no more. Looking forward to this which I picked up in the secondhand bookshop at a National Trust house!
