The first three Miss Silver Mysteries introduce the British governess-turned-sleuth and a “timelessly charming” series (Charlotte MacLeod).
From a “first-rate storyteller,” here are three full-length mystery novels in one volume, set in England between the two world wars and featuring Maud Silver, a retired governess and teacher who embarks on a new career in private detection (The Daily Telegraph).
Grey Mask
After four years wandering the jungles of India and South America, Charles Moray has come home to England to collect his inheritance. Strangely, he finds his family estate unlocked and sees a light in one of its abandoned rooms. Eavesdropping, he learns of a conspiracy to commit a fearsome crime. His first instinct is to let the police settle it, but then he hears her voice Margaret, his long lost love, is part of the gang. To unravel their diabolical plot, he contacts Miss Silver.
The Case Is Closed
Marion Grey is growing used to the idea that her husband will never be released from prison, especially after the horrors of the very public trial. But when new evidence suggests her husband may be innocent of murder after all, she hires a professional—the inimitable Miss Silver—to clear his name.
Lonesome Road
A terrified young woman asks Miss Silver for help unmasking someone who has threatened her life. Rachel Traherne has been receiving menacing letters about her deceased father’s fortune. The first two letters were vague; the third said simply, “Get ready to die.”
These charming traditional British mysteries featuring the unstoppable Miss Silver—whose stout figure, fondness for Tennyson, and passion for knitting disguise a keen intellect and a knack for cracking even the toughest cases—are sure to delight readers of Agatha Christie, Ellis Peters, and Dorothy L. Sayers.

Disappointed at the first book - where the hell was Miss Silver? She didn't show up til the book was almost over. 2nd book, pretty much the same, but she did show up halfway through. 3rd book - much much better, she was there from the first. And that made all the difference in my enjoyment of it. Probably won't read any more unless I can be sure she's in it from the start of the book.Product details

The Miss Silver Mysteries Volume One Grey Mask The Case Is Closed and Lonesome Road edition by Patricia Wentworth Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
Having heard of the "Miss Silver" mysteries for a long time, I finally purchased and read this three book series.
Well worth the price, these old fashioned mysteries are entertaining and I enjoyed them very much.
Miss silver reminds me of Agatha Christies Miss Marple, only Miss Silver comes right out as a detective.Each books gets better than the one before. The author is quite good and tells a good story
These are very 1950's which I happen to enjoy. These are the first three in the series and they do improve as one progresses. The heroine does remind me of Miss Marple.
Ok, I'll admit it I'm hooked. Love Miss silver and her cast of characters are very real. I enjoy the mysteries and the clever twists and turns. Clocks seem to figure primarily in in several of her stories.
Good writing but formula driven. I always enjoy reading Miss Silver because you know justice will be done.
Patricia Wentworth’s style reminded me very much of Margery Allingham. Wentworth’s novels are set in the 1930’s in England, a gentler and simpler time that still contains people with nefarious bents. Miss Silver is schoolmarm-ish, and she is often only a minor character in the novels. Regardless of whether her role is small or large, Miss Silver always relies on facts and logical deductions. Most of the characters are either upper class or servants in upper class homes. The characters are well-drawn, and the plots are tightly crafted. I highly recommend Wentworth’s Miss Silver novels.
Written in the first half of the twentieth century, these tales are very reminiscent of Miss Marple mysteries, if not as successful. The same ingredients are there young love, hidden hatreds, and a plethora of massive country homes and small country towns. The putative protagonist, Miss Silver, often seems peripheral to the cases, which again echoes Miss Marple, but somehow it all felt less successful in these mysteries. Entertaining, however, and as improbable as any English mystery of that era apparently _had_ to be!
