A Miss Silver detective novel set in an old English country house. The Great Aunts invite Candida to stay, and she is pulled into a complex family story, involving an inheritance, a romance--and secret passages.
A young woman goes to the country to meet old--and odd-- relatives and stumbles on a murder only Miss Silver can solve.
Orphaned in the Second World War, Candida Sayle has gotten so used to life with her guardian that she never considered she might have a family somewhere. When her guardian dies, a letter appears from an unheard-of aunt, informing Candida that it is time for her to return to the Benevent family fold. The young woman ventures to the country, where finds a strange pair of spinsters who spend their days obsessing over family lore and rumors of a long-lost Italian treasure.
Bizarre though it is, the environment comforts Candida—as do the attentions of her aunt’s handsome young secretary. But her vacation goes off the rails when death strikes the house, and the brilliant detective Maud Silver joins the party to investigate the possible murder. The Benevent family history is about to get a dark new chapter.
