Welcome to Litsy!

In this classic British mystery, a revised will, a troubled upper-class marriage, and a witness who may be mad are keys to a seemingly solved murder case. Marion Grey is growing used to the idea that her husband will never leave prison. After the horrors of a very public trial she is almost able to find relief in her resignation. But when new evidence suggests her husband may be innocent after all, she hires a professional�Miss Silver�to clear his name. It begins with a chance encounter on a busy train, when a friend of Marion�s meets a half-mad woman who claims to know something of the Grey case. With her is a man who disappeared during the trial, and may know something that could see Marion�s husband set free. Who is he, and where has he gone? To find out, the demure detective Miss Silver must track him down before becoming a victim herself. In a series that�s a delightful blend of Downton Abbey and Agatha Christie, retired schoolteacher and sleuth Miss Silver �has her place in detective fiction as surely as Lord Peter Wimsey or Hercule Poirot� (Manchester Evening News).
