Murder in wartime Britain

An old house with a curse on it--people dying left and right--but what really stuck in my mind was the picture of the young woman left alone to care for her preschool niece, after the child's parents were killed in an air raid.As usual in Miss Silver books, there are nice people and nasty ones, and the nice ones don't suddenly turn around and murder for gain--which I must say, is a bit more realistic than some other mystery writers' books. And Miss Silver knits busily, picking up the strands of the case with as much ease as the yarn on her needles. Amazing how soothing a murder can be.
