Synopsis: A trio of World War II–era whodunits in the &“ingenious [and] satisfying&” mystery series featuring a British governess-turned-amateur-sleuth (The Scotsman). Meet Miss Maud Silver, a retired governess and &“little old lady who nobody notices, but who in turn notices everything&” (Paula Gosling, author of the Jack Stryker mystery series). The Clock Strikes Twelve: A wealthy British family convenes in their manor house for New Year&’s Eve. But when their industrialist patriarch dies, it&’s up to prim Miss Silver to determine who rang in the new year with murder . . . The Key: A German Jewish scientist working for the British war effort is murdered, and his new formula has been stolen. Now Miss Silver must find the killer or risk an explosive disaster . . . She Came Back: Three years after everyone thought she died in France, Lady Anne Jocelyn returns to England. The lady may be who she claims to be, or perhaps she&’s a fraud—or even a Nazi spy. Only Miss Silver will be able to divine the truth.
