The Case is Closed |
This came out in 1937 but hasn't dated much and is a very good holiday read, or for a long train ride. Interesting to compare with contemporary Agatha Christie, which one came first, Miss Silver or Miss Marple? No question, Christie is streets ahead in every way, but Wentworth comes a good second, although Silver doesn't get the details she should and one guesses the plot quite soon. Still, good when one is at a loss.
