Reviews for Vanishing Point
Patricia Wentworth has created a great detective in Miss Silver, the little old lady who nobody notices, but who in turn notices everything
Paula Gosling
Miss Wentworth is a first-rate storyteller
Daily Telegraph
Miss Silver has her place in detective fiction as surely as Lord Peter Wimsey or Hercule Poirot
Manchester Evening News
You can't go wrong with Miss Maud Silver.
Observer
Miss Silver is marvellous
Daily Mail
I like Wentworth very much - she captures the mores of pre-war middle class England perfectly, and she writes rather better than Christie. They are romantic cosies, of course, but with an edge to them and an intelligence to the writing that has lasted.
