Advantage Miss Seeton
A sunny summer’s day at the Hurlingham Club resounds to the thwack of ball on racket, as Britain’s young hopeful, the splendidly named Trish Thumper, seems likely to knock out her American opponent. Yet not all the eyes following Trish’s strokes belong to tennis fans – it soon emerges that her father, the notoriously stern Judge William Thumper, has made an enemy who will stop at little to harm him and his daughter.
But the wrongdoers have reckoned without artistic sleuth Miss Emily Seeton, who in a series of apparently mistimed shots with torch and umbrella, defeats them game, set and match.
Serene amidst every kind of skulduggery, this eccentric English spinster steps in where Scotland Yard stumbles, armed with nothing more than her sketchpad and umbrella!

Reviews
PRAISE FOR MISS SEETON:
'This is not so much black comedy as black-currant comedy... You can't stop reading. Or laughing'
'A most beguiling protagonist!'
'Light, zany, this novel is peopled by several genuine human beings you hate to see go'
'Depth of description and lively characters bring this English village to life'
'Miss Seeton gets into wild drama with fine touches of farce... This is a lovely mixture of the funny and the exciting'
'For those who like a bit of fun in their mystery stories a new Miss Seeton yarn is always welcome. Heron Carvic once more provides his readers with a host of chuckles while at the same time assuring plenty of action'
'She’s a joy!'
'Miss Seeton is a star!'
'Not since Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple has there been a more lovable female dabbler in crime and suspense'
'Miss Seeton is the most delightfully satisfactory character since Miss Marple'
