About the book: 1961 / The last novel in the series with the participation of Miss Silver leaves the heroes in the middle of their life's journey. There is no sense of any summing up, no more or less significant ending, even Frank Abbott remained unmarried. Perhaps “The Secret of the Dark Cellar” at one time was not planned as a final novel... but now no one can know this for sure, and the famous heroes of the detective series leave almost the same as they appeared, only becoming just a little older. The adventure outline of the novel is built mainly around women's intuition. In the end, what remained of the series of books about Miss Silver was its quintessence - the sacred belief that a good person will be rescued in difficult times, and that one should always believe that the path to the future is never closed.
