About This Book

On vacation in a tiny village, Miss Silver investigates a murder with a decades-old motive. The citizens of Melling are perfectly ordinary—exactly the sort one finds in just about every cozy English village—and to a certain person they might even appear boring. But to Miss Silver, people are always interesting.
