Summary
When he was 21 James Lessiter told Henrietta Cray that he loved her before all things and so broke Catherine Lee's heart. But James has a side to him that most people do not see. When the engagement is broken off no one is sure why and Rietta refuses to explain. Twenty years later James returns to the village an extremely wealthy man. Rietta is still unmarried and Catherine is a penniless widow living in a cottage on the Lessiter estate. Trouble is inevitable, for Catherine has started to sell some of the valuable contents of the cottage to keep up a lifestyle she cannot afford but James has his suspicions and is looking forward to exposing her. He has always enjoyed seeing someone else suffer whatever the cost. When he is brutally murdered there are all too many people who would benefit from his death but fortunately Miss Silver is ready to investigate.

Excellent
One of Patricia Wentworth’s best and beautifully read by Diana Bishop. It evokes the transition and pressures of change after the war, a bygone era with maids, financial dependency and women at home alongside a cracking whodunnit and knitting Miss Silver. Maud disentangles the intricacies of crime as she disentangles her wool!

Miss Silver always entertains.
I enjoyed reading most of the Miss Silver books 40+ years ago. Now the superb narration of this title, and of all the books in this series brings even greater enjoyment.

compelling & beautifully read
What did you like most about Miss Silver Comes to Stay?
Miss Silver is so much more interesting & convincing a character than Agatha Christie's Miss Marple, and deserves to be much better known. Patricia Wentworth is excellent at invoking the post-war English village, with all its nuanced relationships. She is delightfully dry and pithy. Miss Silver comes to stay is a great "page turner", I bought it to listen to on my daily commute but found myself bringing the audio inside and continuing to listen every evening.
What other book might you compare Miss Silver Comes to Stay to, and why?
it's in the tradition of Agatha Christie and Ngaio Marsh, or Georgette Heyer's detective stories ... arguably they have narrow range of settings and a limited cast of characters, but are brought to life by taut plotting and excellent writing, with some vivid period detail
Any additional comments?
Diana Bishop's narration is excellent

surprisingly wonderful
First time with this author and narrator and I was very pleasantly surprised. The story held my interest throughout and was very well read. Old fashioned in a good way. I will be trying more Patricia Wentworth.
