The Benevent Treasure by Patricia Wentworth

3.0

In this phase of the Miss Silver series, formidable old ladies are playing a heavy role. The heroine of the story is interesting when we first meet her, as a 15-year-old caught unawares by a rising tide, but her grown-up self is less capable - and by the end, a bit silly. But an enjoyable story nonetheless, with all you could wish for: a mysterious hidden treasure with a curse, an old house with mysterious passages, old family retainers, and an autocratic aunt who does not like the suitor her niece prefers ... and Miss Silver, visiting a cousin in the neighborhood who knows all the participants.
