In Praise of Patricia Wentworth
For those who like their "noire" on the light side, I can't praise the mid-c2oth British novelist Patricia Wentworth highly enough. Certainly not as dark as Patricia Highsmith, Wentworth's Miss Silver detective series nevertheless captures the darker side of English post-war life. My recent reads include The Gazebo, The Watersplash and The Benevent Treasure, all of which I've enjoyed immensely.
