The Fire Within by Patricia Wentworth
Patricia Wentworth (1878-1961) was the pen name of the British crime fiction writer Dora Amy Elles. She is now famous for her series of 32 crime novels (classic-style whodunnits) featuring Miss Maud Silver, the first of which was published in 1928, and the last of which was published in the year of her death. Wentworth also wrote 34 books outside of that series. Her works include: A Marriage Under the Terror (1910), The Devil's Wind (1912), The Fire Within (1913), The Red Lacquer Case (1924), Grey Mask (1928), Danger Calling (1931), Fear by Night (1934) and The Chinese Shawl (1943).Patricia Wentworth (1878-1961) was a master of the traditional English mystery novel. Dora Amy Elles was born in India, and following the loss of her first husband, she began writing, publishing her first novel in 1910. Miss Maud Silver, the former governess whose heavy figure, liking for Tennyson, and enthusiasm for knitting served to mask a bright brain, was introduced in the 1920s and became her most famous character. Miss Silver is the definitive representation of the English style of cozy mysteries, alongside Agatha Christie's Miss Marple.
