La collection Brading
by Patricia Wentworth
- 1 Want to read
Pour ceux et celles qui auraient tout lu Agatha Christie, voici une série de romans policiers anglais où apparaît une bonne demoiselle qui, avec la logique précise du tricot dont elle est championne, résout des énigmes dignes de sa contemporaine Miss Marple. Sur les 80 histoires qu'a écrites l'auteure, célèbre en son pays, 33 fournissent à Miss Silver l'occasion d'exercer sa jugeote. Celui-ci, de 1952, fournit un bon échantillon. [SDM].

Work Description
A collector enlists Miss Silver’s help when his valuable jewels attract criminal attention.
He cannot say why, but Lewis Brading is an uneasy man. A collector of valuable jewels, he has taken the utmost precautions to safeguard what is most precious to him. He houses his gems in a concrete annex, protected by a reinforced steel door, the latest security system, and his own watchful eye. No one has a key but himself and his assistant, and he doesn’t doubt that his servant will remain true. The man in his employ is a criminal, and if anything should happen to Brading or his gems, the police will look to him first.
And yet, he suspects something may be wrong. He consults Maud Silver, the demure detective, and she tells him to fire his assistant and send his collection to a museum. Ignoring her advice may be the last mistake Lewis Brading ever makes.
