a Miss Silver mystery

THROUGH THE WALL

Patricia Wentworth

First HarperPerennial edition published 1992, 1st Print

Marion Brand is a young woman of modest means who through hard work has managed to support her frail sister and shiftless brother-in-law. It is a stroke of luck when she unexpectedly inherits a large fortune from her unknown uncle, Martin Brand. She soon learns that he has bypassed his other, closer relatives in her favor.

Marion moves into the seaside family home with her newfound relations. They are a scheming group who sorely resent her presence: Felix, a tempermental concert pianist; two elderly sisters, Miss Cassy Remington and Mrs. Florence Brand; and young Penny Halliday, a cousin. Shortly after Marion's arrival a murder is committed and all the evidence points to her. But the disbelieving police call on Miss Silver to observe the household discreetly from within and, if she can, to solve the riddle of who is actually responsibile for the killing before anyone else comes to harm.
