Latter End

The Miss Silver Mysteries

By: Patricia Wentworth

Narrated by: Diana Bishop

Things had never been quite the same at Latter End since Lois had taken over. Suddenly life seemed to be an endless succession of bitter family rows which Lois, needless to say, invariably won. More than one person at Latter End found themselves stretched to the limit by Lois and her bullying, and it was only a matter of time before somebody snapped. It was unthinkable of course...but if anyone ever murdered Lois Latter, it would be very embarrassing to discover just how many people might have wished her dead.

Quintessential unassuming elderly detective

The unique, Tennyson-quoting Miss Silver is on another adventure of solving mysteries and puzzles via her intellectual ability and her relationship-building skills. Always entertaining, even if the mysteries are occasionally formulaic. #intriguing #knitting #professionaldetective #tagsgiving #sweepstakes #femaleprotagonist

Excellent book

This mystery was fantastic. Patricia Wentworth wrote with passion and understanding of human narure. Wonderful book with interesting charatures, great plot. So well written that I was hoping the wife would die too. Worth reading.

First class mystery!

I very much like Patricia Wentworth’s way of telling a story! Every bit as well crafted as anything Agatha write and very cozy-worthy!

The same novel as the Miss Silver "The Grey Mask"

I thought this was an excellent Miss Silver mystery. Diana Bishop gives every one of the Miss Silver mysteries the most perfect narration. I can't imagine another performer doing the job better. As for Patricia Wentworth, what a wonderful writer. It is a pure joy to have her develop her characters, and interject her wit, and good humor into every book she writes. I have wondered about one thing that Audible really needs to answer for me, why is ''The Grey Mask'' Patricia Wentworth's first Miss Silver Mystery being offered as the same mystery as ''Latter End''?

Pre- Miss Marple, Miss Silver series is cozy mystery-marvelous. Read excellently by Diana Bishop
