Mrs. Alex. McVeigh Miller Collection (CXC)

Description

Two Mrs. Alex. McVeigh Miller books combined in one: • The Mystery of Suicide Place • An Old Man’s DarlingTogether, these books broaden the picture of the author’s storytelling, pairing two different kinds of momentum. “The Mystery of Suicide Place” draws you in with its particular premise and cast, while “An Old Man’s Darling” shifts the angle—either by changing tone, setting, or the kind of conflict at the center. Across both, you’ll find clues, secrets, and slow revelation, and a focus on how people respond when the familiar becomes unstable. Read as a single volume, the pairing makes it easier to notice recurring themes, echoing images, and the author’s shifts in tone from one work to the next.Mrs. Alex. McVeigh Miller is widely read for clear storytelling, memorable characters, and enduring themes. The writing tends to focus on motive and consequence, with attention to social life as well as private feeling. Across different works, there is a steady interest in how people change—slowly, reluctantly, or all at once—when circumstances force a decision.
