Article About Books Vanishing Point (Miss Silver #25)

The set-up: Rosamond, a devoted sister, struggles to maintain the large, decaying house of cold great-aunt Lydia in exchange for a home for Jenny, her precocious, twelve-year old sister, who wants to become a writer. The complications: The family is entangled in mysteries and suspicious deaths in the nearby village. The solution: call in Miss Silver, of course. The sections about Jennys writing are rather fun. And, Rosamonds walk in the woods at the beginning sets the atmosphere for the story.

Very much enjoyed this one. It was set against a theme of changing times and trying to hold on to the past by whatever means ... and past glory being very much privileged over the present needs of humans.



One of my favorite Miss Silver mysteries

I fell in love with Wentworth many years ago because of Vanishing Point, the first of her books that Id ever read. From those opening moments, so filled with tenderness and psychological understanding, as a tired Rosamond sought brief refuge from her dire circumstances by taking a stroll through the woods, I knew this was something special. Wentworth, a member of that Golden Age group of female mystery writers which included Christie, Sayers, Allingham and Marsh, was so popular during the 1940s

I have two opinions about this book. The first is that I shall be reading more of Patricia Wentworth. I suspect this will be a gateway drug to dozens of Christie-lite detective novels during winter Sundays. The second is that while not entirely satisfied with it, I enjoyed it a lot more than some other dross I've read.It doesn't have the careless humour of Lord Peter Wimsey, it doesn't have the 'Johnny Foreigner' casual imperialist racism of Poirot or the twittering of Miss Marple. There's

It would have been 4 stars but the male love interest in the subplot is so controlling the romance was not really very romantic
