There was no shortage of suspects when Alan Field was murdered: his long-suffering stepmother, the fiancee he left at the altar, and the young wife whose indiscretions had left her open to blackmail were only a few. Pippa Maybury, the blackmail victim, begs Miss Silver to find the real murderer before Pippa herself is arrested. Soon Miss Silver is living at Cliff Edge with the Hardwick family and their guests, and investigating the murder in her own unique and effective way. An enjoyable old-fashioned British mystery.

To the next reader of this book, I hope you enjoy it.
