I wasn’t much impressed with this Miss Silver novel; I guessed the entire solution before the first murder had even been committed, and I never got invested in any of the characters.

Still a decent read, but it'll never be a favourite. (

Book description

New English Library (1998) blurb:
To the innocent visitor the picturesque village of Greenings would appear to be a haven of tranquillity. But every place has its secrets and beneath the calm surface lurk hidden resentments and dangerous passions. When a man is found lying face down in a nearby watersplash, the verdict is death by misadventure. But Miss Silver happens to be in the neighbourhood and she suspects foul play.
