When a mysterious suicide follows an outbreak of poison pen letters in the quiet village of Tilling Green, Detective Inspector Frank Abbott of Scotland Yard dispatches Miss Silver to investigate. Disguised as a vacationer, the retired governess stays with Renie Walsh, the town gossip, and learns of the marital and financial difficulties among the Reptons at the Manor House as well as all the petty details of life among the other village inhabitants.
It soon becomes apparent to Miss Silver that the suicide was murder and that there is a vicious and demented killer at work. The officious letters still come, exposing or accusing, and the terror mounts with two more seemingly unconnected murders. Miss Silver almost becomes a fourth victim, but outwits the killer with her usual straight-spined aplomb.

Miss Silver smiled benignantly.

“He did indeed. He made me a most excellent cup of tea and introduced all the cats.”

“Well, the case is over, and I suppose you have added Barton and half a dozen others to the list of your admirers.”

She said with an accent of reproof.

“Of my friends , Frank. Miss Maggie has been most kind, and I must confess to feeling an interest in Valentine and Mr. Leigh. Joyce Rodney too. Do you know whether she has decided to stay on in Tilling Green?”

Frank nodded.

“I think so. If Miss Renie is certified, as she is bound to be, the administration of the estate falls to Joyce. She could live at the Cottage and carry on the school with Penelope Marsh as they had planned. It will really be much better if she does.”

“You have seen her?”

“Well, no-she called me up.”

It might have been his fancy, but he thought he detected a shade of benevolence in her expression. She said,

“I am afraid that I may have hurt her feelings by my decision that it would be inadvisable for me to call her Joyce, but now that the case is over-”

“There will hardly be any opportunity.”

“You think not?”

He met her slightly disappointed gaze with a laughing one. “It’s no good, my dear ma’am, I am a hopeless case. You will just have to make do with Jason and Valentine!”

Born in Mussoorie, India, in 1878, Patricia Wentworth was the daughter of an English general. Educated in England, she returned to India, where she began to write and was first published. She married, but in 1906 was left a widow with four children, and returned again to England where she resumed her writing, this time to earn a living for herself and her family. She married again in 1920 and lived in Surrey until her death in 1961.

Miss Wentworth’s early works were mainly historical fiction, and her first mystery, published in 1923, was The Astonishing Adventure of Jane Smith. In 1928 she wrote The Case Is Closed and gave birth to her most enduring creation, Miss Maud Silver.
