"I got this book on Amazon recommended by my friend who is also a fan of action novels and western culture stories. Got curious about his feedback so I bought a copy and got fascinated reading chapter by chapter like I am watching episodes of an action-adventure series on Netflix. The author has made his characters as colorful and exaggerated as possible, while also making them very relatable to what it is like to be a cowboy in our modern world.  It was very eye-opening and gave me material to think about. I loved the story arc of this book and how it was so well balanced by a complex set of characters that really added to enrich the storyline. This book contains a lot of excitement and euphoria. All in all an easy read and definitely worth your while!"

"I once read a review that said Miss Silver makes all the police look like bumbling idiots (or words to that effect). That isn’t how I perceive these novels, however. The difference is that the police are there to do their jobs: investigate and make an arrest as quickly as possible with the evidence (circumstantial or otherwise) that they gather. Miss Silver’s motivation is to gather the facts to get to the truth so that justice can be achieved.

They are not really at cross-principles, but their purposes and methods do differ. Fortunately, Miss Silver is able to piece the facts together without getting distracted by red herrings that the culprits take care to spread liberally. Her sharp mind, and ability to put the puzzle pieces where they belong is what makes her the star that shines in the cause of truth and justice.

This novel is a perfect example of that because the case couldn’t be more muddled by a mixture of characters who all have their own agendas going on � some of them healthy, some not healthy at all, and others whose agendas are completely innocent but they are trapped by time and place.

The Brading Collection is a huge collection of jewelry owned by Lewis Brading who lives in the vault-like annex to a property whose main house has been turned into a “club� where people come to spend their holidays. Each piece in the Brading Collection has its own tale, and the majority of them are morbid stories filled with the vices of life and ultimately, the death of whoever owned the piece and/or wore it.

Lewis Brading is a cold and calculating man who is not above blackmail to achieve his ends. His collection is everything in life to him - until he meets a woman that he falls head over heels for, cutting his cousin out of his will, and generally causing mayhem in the rest of the family. When he turns up dead, the police are doing what they do: they follow the money. Who has most to gain by this death? Miss Silver comes at it from a different angle � who has most to gain by clouding the issue in a miasma of confusion?

With characteristic emphasis on the characters, their motivations, and what people will do to achieve ends that are less than noble, Patricia Wentworth comes through with another intriguing mystery in an idyllic British setting.

Recommended to all fans of mysteries � especially those who appreciate stories from the Golden Age of Mystery.
