The murder of Elan Field came as a complete surprise to the guests and inhabitants of the ancient family estate. And only when Inspector Abbott began an investigation, it turned out that the deceased was an evil genius for each participant in the tragedy. Now everyone is suspected... One of the most interesting novels of the 50- x years. Written in a completely different style than most of Miss Silver's adventures. Here the author completely abandons the usual narrative style, slowly introducing the reader to the life and love affairs of the main characters and reaching the highest tension only towards the last part of the Story, when clouds gather around the criminal. Instead, the story of James Hardwicke's marriage unfolds before the reader, and before the reader senses that there is any mystery hidden in it, he is transported to a completely different place and drawn into a maelstrom of events. The pace weakens a little only towards the middle of the novel, when the time comes for Miss Silver to demonstrate her thoroughness and prudence, but the second murder and the evidence that comes to light here also provide liveliness to the narrative.
