4.0 out of 5 stars A Wentworth Noir Story, March 22, 2005

This review is from: Ladies' Bane (A Miss Silver Mystery) (Paperback)

This is the first of the lengthy Miss Silver series that is an actual noir novel. In it we have a femme fatale, a dodgy Scotsman, and a very old manor house that has a terrible curse. This is an exciting little story, and I really enjoyed it, even though I had figured out who the killer was right away. The things that I didn't figure out came out as the plot developed, and they were interesting and varied enough to keep my interest. There is darkness and danger here, and the heroine is very appealing. This is a pretty good little story.
