Summary
A gardener's death sends a country house into a frenzy, and Miss Silver swoops in to set things right.
Edward Random returns to Deeping a forgotten man. Although raised in the village's manor house, he is no longer wealthy - the result of a quarrel with an uncle, which left him out of the old man's will. For years Edward's name has not been spoken in the town, save for wild rumors that he had gone to prison for dueling, decamped to the Orient, or simply died of mysterious circumstances. In fact he is in good health, ready to start life where he left off, money or no money.
But the old family feud stands in his way, and the situation at the manor house grows vicious in the wake of the undergardener William Jackson's death. Did he drown by accident, or was he murdered? Only Maud Silver, the demure but brilliant detective, can say for sure.

Brilliant
Brilliant as always, Diana Bishop has a wonderful voice and when I switch from audible to reading the book I hear the characters voices as performed by her.

Nice gentle detective story. Will listen to other stories by this author as they are suitable to have on when youngsters are about (no swearing etc.).

Just as good as Agatha Christie
As with other reviews I cannot understand why this has not been adapted for TV as Miss Silver is another Miss Marple. I think networks stick to an author they know will attract viewers but I am tired of always rehashing the same old Christie stories. Patricia Wentworth books make a refreshing change. I enjoyed these books many years ago and am happy to have found them again on audible. The story is well plotted and, although I guessed the murderer this was not until near the end.

Ludicrous motive!
Well-narrated and interesting from a period perspective. However, the murderer’s motivation is ridiculous- even more so than is often the case with Wentworth’s plotting.
