The Key by Patricia Wentworth
An end to the Second World War is in sight, and Michael Harsch has been working for the government on a secret project for years. Finally he is ready to hand over his formula. But the next morning he is dead. It looks like suicide, but Miss Silver is sure that it's murder.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.
