  • "Pour ceux et celles qui auraient tout lu Agatha Christie, voici une série de romans policiers anglais où apparaît une bonne demoiselle qui, avec la logique précise du tricot dont elle est championne, résout des énigmes de sa contemporaine Miss Marple. Sur les 80 histoires qu'a écrites l'auteure, célèbre en son pays, 33 fournissent à Miss Silver l'occasion d'exercer sa jugeote. Celui-ci, de 1954, fournit un bon échantillon."
  • "A gardener’s death sends a country house into a frenzy, and Miss Silver swoops in to set things right Edward Random returns to Deeping a forgotten man. Although raised in the village’s manor house, he is no longer wealthy—the result of a quarrel with an uncle, which left him out of the old man’s will. For years Edward’s name has not been spoken in the town, save for wild rumors that he had gone to prison for dueling, decamped to the Orient, or had simply died of mysterious circumstances. In fact, he is in good health, ready to start life where he left off, money or no money. But the old family feud stands in his way, and the situation at the manor house grows vicious in the wake of the under-gardener William Jackson’s death. Did he drown by accident, or was he murdered? Only Maud Silver, the demure but brilliant detective, can say for sure."
