about this book
The twentieth ' Miss Silver ' mystery.
Anna sounds a dull, uninteresting girl, but when she stops writing after three years of intensive post-school correspondence, Thomasina becomes anxious about her old school-friend. In her last letter Anna spoke of a new job without giving any details, and then, to quote Thomasina, she disappears. The case is put before Miss Silver... "Just a girl who has stopped writing."
Here we have a dynamic cover illustration (Who is that girl? And who or what is menacing her?) paired with a downright clunky piece of prose on the back of the book. Let's hope the potential buyers of this publication found the front cover more intriguing than they found the back cover off-putting.
