關於這本電子書

In World War II–era England, it seems a noblewoman may have come back from the dead
 
Anne Jocelyn and a friend were killed trying to escape the first German assault on France. Before leaving to join the war, it was up to Anne’s husband, Phillip, to bury her body for burial. That was three years ago—and now Anne has returned to England.

Looking and talking exactly like Phillip’s wife, the woman insists he mistook her friend’s body for her own and buried it by mistake. After three years hiding from the Nazis, Anne has finally escaped and come back to him. Phillip doesn’t believe her, but as far as she’s concerned Anne Jocelyn’s riches are her own. Only the brilliant governess-turned-sleuth Miss Maud Silver will be able to divine the truth . . .

關於作者

DIVPatricia Wentworth (1878–1961) was one of the masters of classic English mystery writing. Born in India as Dora Amy Elles, she began writing after the death of her first husband, publishing her first novel in 1910. In the 1920s, she introduced the character who would make her famous: Miss Maud Silver, the former governess whose stout figure, fondness for Tennyson, and passion for knitting served to disguise a keen intellect. Along with Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple, Miss Silver is the definitive embodiment of the English style of cozy mysteries./div
