  • "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 1958, fournit un bon échantillon."
  • "When a question of inheritance turns fatal, Miss Silver searches for the killer Jenny has never been one to feel sorry for herself. The illegitimate child of a wealthy man and a statureless woman, she has been an orphan since before she can remember. It is a hard life made bearable only by the kindness of her guardian, an old woman named Miss Garstone, who has always treated Jenny as her own. Struck down by a motorist, “Garsty” dies, whispering to Jenny that her parents were actually married, and she is the rightful heir to the Alington fortune. Miss Garstone was not the only one who knew the secret, and as Jenny grieves, her wealthy cousins work to protect their fortune. When the quiet conflict turns deadly, governess-turned-detective Miss Silver is the only one who can unravel the perplexing family saga."
