This light and easy mystery takes place in 1942 England... like all Ms Wentworth's WWII era novels, the war is omnipresent, but the plot is about ordinary human life. Her characterization is deft and sure... and surely Miss Maud Silver is one of the great detective characters of the Golden Age of the English mystery. I always enjoy them immensely.
