Miss Seeton Flies High
Lucky Miss Seeton! A modest Premium Bond win means a whole week in legendary Glastonbury. She can draw and drink in the surroundings, just what she needs for her scene-painting role in the village production of ‘Camelot’.
By coincidence, the kidnapped Heir to an industrial family may be hidden around there and Chief Superintendent Delphick has asked the ex-art teacher to create some of her famous, insightful sketches. Even he is nonplussed by the resulting images of capering sheep in straitjackets, flashing false teeth!
But the Heir is in danger, a murderer is lurking, and the first victim may not be the last. Then fortune favours Miss Seeton again, her raffle ticket winning her a hot air balloon flight, and well, it’s just amazing what you can see from above . . .
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!'
'Miss Seeton gets into wild drama with fine touches of farce… This is a lovely mixture of the funny and the exciting'
'Depth of description and lively characters bring this English village to life'
'Fun to be had with a full cast of endearingly zany villagers... and the ever gently intuitive Miss Seeton'
'Miss Seeton is the most delightfully satisfactory character since Miss Marple'
'I think, on the whole, Miss Seeton is the most loveable and entertaining of any of today’s fiction detectives. May she live forever'
'Light, zany, this novel is peopled by several genuine human beings you hate to see go'
'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'
