And when one of the recipients, a young woman, was found drowned in the lake belonging to the Manor House, Miss Silver was persuaded to go and investigate. Valentine Grey, the pretty young heiress from the Manor House, was marrying one Gilbert Earle, but on the night of Valentine's pre-wedding party Jason Leigh, Valentine's former love, returned after months without a word.

One of Wentworth’s most tightly constructed plots with a variety of characters beautifully brought to life by Diana Bishop. Very enjoyable.

Excellent!

An Enjoyable and easy listen with a few twists too.
I became a little confused with the different voices. There was not enough difference in them.
Overall a good book. I might purchase some others. This is Book 29 of 32: in the series of Miss Silver Mysteries.

A lot of Poison

Do get this on audiobook but try one of the five star ones first - maybe The Case of William Smith or Dangerpoint.

Someone is sending poison pen letters-how horrid!
