The Case Is Closed

By: Patricia Wentworth

Narrated by: Diana Bishop

The Everton murder case has long been closed. The culprit has been charged with the murder of his uncle and has served a year of his sentence already. Or has he? The evidence against Geoffrey Grey is convincing but his wife believes in his innocence. And so does her young cousin, Hilary, who decides to solve the mystery herself. But when Hilary herself is nearly murdered she turns in desperation to her ex-fiancé for help. He calls upon the services of Miss Silver to help solve another mystery, which she does in her own original style.

The Case is Closed

This is a promising new (old) series for me. I've read British mysteries for years, but only recently discovered Patricia Wentworth. Good plots, enjoyable characters & Miss Silver = a great read.

Always a Pleasure

Beautifully narrated, beautifully written, I listen to these over and over and continue to enjoy Patricia Wentworth's observations on humankind.

Thoroughly Enjoyed This One!

I have read several Patricia Wentworth Mysteries and have loved all of them.
Great Narrator and unusual plots make for a wonderful Winter time experience.
It does not matter which book you choose as your first read. It is not necessary to read them in order. I hope Audible can get All of her books.

I really enjoyed this

Other commenters mentioned the pacing was a bit slow and the male romantic love interest unappealing but I do not agree with those complaints. I thought all the characters Wentworth used to build the story to be believable and either likable or understandable. The minor complaint I did have was that we the reader only get the briefest chance to know or explore the motivations and inner character of the victim and the villain in this story. I would have liked a few scenes with them to flesh out their characters. Otherwise the story held my interest and was well crafted. I tire of modern mystery fiction that spends so much time on gore and gruesome horrible people that I find these older mysteries with the emphasis on the mystery itself to be wonderful. Last but not least, the reader is excellent.

Entertaining Mystery

Very entertaining mystery full of intrigue and twists. Very well written and performed. I continue to seek out these mysteries.
