Sharing lodging in the sleepy English village of Walmsley Parva has eased some of the financial strain on the two old school chums, but money is still tight in these years following the Great War. So when the local vicar - and pigeon-racing club president - approaches them with a private inquiry opportunity, the ladies accept. There's been a spot of bother: The treasurer has absconded with the club's funds and several prized birds. But when they visit the man's loft, they find their elusive quarry lying in white feathers and a pool of crimson blood - the only witnesses cooing mournfully.

Publisher's Summary

Miss Silver investigates the murder of a great British industrialist.

Though they share a manor house, the Paradines are not close, and their patriarch does nothing to discourage the petty jealousies that divide wealthy families. A cold figure, James Paradine prefers work to his relations, but on New Year's Eve he convenes the household. Valuable plans have been stolen from his office, and only one person could be to blame. He knows the culprit's name and gives the thief until midnight to come forward.

By midnight, James Paradine is dead. Was it the thief who killed him, or could it have been someone else acting on different motives entirely? The local constables are baffled, and it is left to prim detective Maud Silver to out the murderer.

Delightfully disturbing

The consumptive Miss Silver -- she precedes almost all of her oracular declarations with a cough -- is beautifully read by Diana Bishop, a fine voice actress. She imbues each of the characters with distinctive details. The story itself contains one of the most chilling portrayals of domestic madness, yet Miss Silver saves it from being as grim as it would be without her gentle presence.

Wonderful mystery!

I've read several of Patricia Wentworth's books and I was glad to find them on Audible. This is the first one that I've listened to and I'm not disappointed. Great storyline, I liked all of the characters and it kept me guessing "whohunit". I'll get more of these books by Patricia Wentworth read, I hope, by the same narrator, Diana Bishop, who is excellent.
