Sold to Miss Seeton
It isn’t quite 40 days and 40 nights, but the relentless downpour has been blighting the village of Plummergen for over a fortnight, keeping everyone indoors.
Even the ever resourceful Miss Seeton is beginning to experience cabin fever, when her old friend Lady Colveden proposes a welcome shopping expedition, taking in the local auctioneers. Miss S is well aware of the dangers of making any sudden moves at an auction, so how is it that this quiet ex-art teacher becomes the possessor of an ancient padlocked chest, that speaks thrillingly of long-lost treasure?
The mysterious box and its contents will not only lead her to discover a forgotten noble lady – but also a ruthless killer.
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
'This is not so much black comedy as black-currant comedy . . . You can’t stop reading. Or laughing'
'Miss Seeton gets into wild drama with fine touches of farce . . . This is a lovely mixture of the funny and the exciting'
'She’s a joy!'
'A most beguiling protagonist!'
'Not since Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple has there been a more lovable female dabbler in crime and suspense'
'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'
