When her fianc�, Giles Armitage, is lost at sea in the middle of the Second World War, Meade Underwood is left in the company of a middle-aged aunt with nothing but a monotonous round of bridge parties and war work to fill her days.

A chance encounter restores Giles to Meade but he has lost his memory, and their rediscovered happiness is threatened by the machinations of the scheming Carola Roland, a figure from Giles's forgotten past. So when Carola is viciously murdered, Giles becomes the chief suspect and it takes all Miss Silver's ingenuity to unravel the real significance of the crime and its electrifying consequences.

Review:

Praise for Patricia Wentworth:

Miss Silver is marvellous (Daily Mail)

Miss Wentworth is a first-rate storyteller (Daily Telegraph)

Miss Silver has had her place in detective fiction as surely as Lord Peter Wimsey or Hercule Poirot (Manchester Evening News)

. . . some of the best examples of the British country-house murder mystery (Alfred Hitchcock Magazine)

Very well written (Mary Stewart)
