Pilgrim's Rest

By: Patricia Wentworth

Narrated by: Diana Bishop

The two Miss Pilgrims, Columba and Janette, think it's unwise to leave their fine ancestral home, Pilgrim's Rest. When their brother suffers a fatal fall only days after talking about selling it, and his son barely escapes two near-fatal accidents, they suspect it's deadly to leave. Surely Miss Silver can determine why the house hates to be empty.

No rest from the very beginning!

This is a very unusual Miss Silver mystery. You have to hunt for it. I came across it by accident. It is not in the list of Miss Silver mysteries. There is no accompanying book to listen to. And the mystery and murders start before the book. Miss Silver is consulted immediately. There are several love stories. The Commissioner and Frank are both there, but keep refusing Miss Silver’s advice.The ending is totally unique among all of the Miss Silver stories. Please listen to this work. It is one of Ms Wentworth’s best.

The best Wentworth so far!

I’ve just discovered Wentworth, thanks to ChatGPT, and have enjoyed each of the books I’ve listened to thus far. This one, as the title of my review says, is the best so far. The character development is excellent, and the storyline is very engaging. As an added bonus, there is a nice little twist at the end. I happily recommend this book!

Well plotted and enjoyable

This was a good tale with good characters even if the body count was a little over the top. It started with 4 and went up from there. Still I enjoyed PWs characters and interactions. Sometimes I think I’m still listening to Miss Marple mystery and then I notice Miss Silver’s less sympathetic tone.

Great mystery

I enjoy Miss Silver mysteries. Very good without bad language or sex. This is one of my favorites and have enjoyed it more than once.

my favorite Patricia Wentworth book

The characters have more much complexity than Patricia Wentworth typically creates. I love this book!
