Synopsis: Governess-turned-sleuth Miss Silver must follow a trail of poison-pen letters to save an heiress from murder. Rachel Treherne has always had a steady head on her shoulders; it&’s why her late father named her the sole trustee of his considerable fortune. But the decision galled a number of Rachel&’s relatives, including her married older sister, her socialist nephew, and her father&’s ambitious young cousin. Rachel fears she may be overreacting to the anonymous letters she&’s received threatening her life, but then someone tampers with the chocolates she bought herself. If her cousin hadn&’t partaken first and noticed an unwholesome taste, who knows what may have happened? Miss Silver suspects someone in Rachel&’s inner circle has grown tired of being a poor relation, and she travels incognito to the Treherne country home to unmask the culprit—before it&’s too late—in this intriguing entry in the beloved series featuring a contemporary of Agatha Christie&’s Miss Marple. Lonesome Road is the 3rd book in the Miss Silver Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
