Miss Seeton Paints the Town
Plummergen village folk are keen as mustard to beat neighbouring Murreystone and win the Best Kept Village competition. Art teacher Miss Seeton is asked to create some Before and After pictures, showing residents of The Street how to improve the look of their houses. Yet one of her sketches is worrying, showing her own cottage, Sweetbriars, amidst billowing smoke, all too reminiscent of the current spate of murderous arson being investigated. Then another, that looks at first like a cosy Wind in the Willows scene seems to hint at something very dark lurking in the shadows . . .
Serene amidst every kind of skullduggery, 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'
