ISBN 9781911440550 Published 23 March 2017

Miss Seeton is most embarrassed . . .

Her every attempt at a portrait of little Effie Goffer has become a chilling picture of a corpse. Is Miss Seeton actually drawing a clue to a series of child murders in rural England?

Scotland Yard thinks so, and wants Miss Seeton to turn from sketching . . . to catching a killer skilled in a very deadly art.

Retired art teacher Miss Seeton steps in where Scotland Yard stumbles. Armed with only her sketch pad and umbrella, she is every inch an eccentric English spinster and at every turn the most lovable and unlikely master of detection.

PRAISE FOR MISS SEETON:

'Miss Seeton is the most delightfully satisfactory character since Miss Marple'

Ogden Nash

'Not since Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple has there been a more lovable female dabbler in crime and suspense'

Amarillo News

'Fun to be had with a full cast of endearingly zany villagers... and the ever gently intuitive Miss Seeton'

Kirkus Reviews

'Miss Seeton is a star!'

Detroit News

'She’s a joy!'

Cleveland Plain Dealer

'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'

Lewiston Journal

'Light, zany, this novel is peopled by several genuine human beings you hate to see go'

Houston Post

'I think, on the whole, Miss Seeton is the most loveable and entertaining of any of today’s fiction detectives. May she live forever'

London Mystery Selection

'Depth of description and lively characters bring this English village to life'

Publishers Weekly

'This is not so much black comedy as black-currant comedy... You can't stop reading. Or laughing'

The Sun

'Miss Seeton gets into wild drama with fine touches of farce... This is a lovely mixture of the funny and the exciting'

San Francisco Chronicle

'A most beguiling protagonist!'

New York Times

About the author

Heron Carvic

Heron Carvic (1913-1980) was an actor and writer, most recognisable today for his voice portrayal of the character Gandalf in the first BBC Radio broadcast version of The Hobbit. He started writing the Miss Seeton novels in the 1960s, after using her in a short story. He later recalled that "Miss Seeton upped and demanded a book”.
