"Retired art teacher Miss Seeton steps in where Scotland Yard Stumbles. Armed with only her sketch pad and umbrella, she is at every turn the most lovable and unlikely master of detection. This popular series was created by Heron Carvic; and continued after his death first by Hampton Charles, and later by Hamilton Crane.

A sudden interest in the occult swept through the English village of Plummergen, with Ouija boards replacing the best china in many a cozy cottage. It might be quite the thing for maiden ladies and persnickity aunts, but it wasn't Miss Seeton's cup of tea ...until Scotland Yard requested she go undercover to investigate some sinister shenanigans in the Kentish countryside. A flim-flam was afoot in the local witches coven ...and magic could be a prelude to murder most foul. Serene amidst every kind of skullduggery, retired art teacher Miss Seeton steps in where Scotland Yard stumbles. Armed with nothing more than her sketchpad and umbrella, she is at every turn the most lovable and unlikely master of detection.

Miss Seeton is at her bewitching best. * Pittsburgh Press * A most beguiling protagonist! * New York Times * A delightful, suspenseful tale. * Boston Globe * This is not so much black comedy as black-currant comedy . . . You can't stop reading. Or laughing. * The Sun * Miss Seeton is the most delightfully satisfactory character since Miss Marple. -- Ogden Nash She's a joy! * Cleveland Plain Dealer * Miss Seeton is a star. * Detroit News * Not since Agatha Christie's Miss Marple has there been a more lovable female dabbler in crime and suspense. * Amarillo News * Depth of description and lively characters bring this English village to life. * Publishers Weekly * 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 * For those who like a bit of fun in their mystery stories a new Miss Seeton yarn is always welcome.
