The Case Is Closed by Patricia Wentworth
slow-paced
3.5
I love detective stories, and especially those in the noir genre. Coming across this series, I was super excited! Detective? The height of the era? Female lead? Ticks all my boxes! I'd just like it more if the title charger was actually in the book. Aside from the chapter long recap, Miss Silver, for whom the series is titled, is on about a dozen pages or so.
From a technical perspective, I greatly enjoy the writing, and characterization. But it just feels like I'm reading the B plot happening around Miss Silver without ever actually following the title character, for I hesitate to call her main character.
I'll likely return to the series, but for now, I'll be reading something other than The Mysteries of the People Around Miss Silver.
