Murder can strike at any hour
Its the late 1950s in tranquil Temple Regis, Devon.

For holidaymakers its a glorious time of breathtaking scenery, picnics on beaches, and flocks of tourists on their summertime holidays.

But for Miss Judy Dimont, this is all a trifle dull. As a reporter for local rag, The Riviera Express, she needs scandal and intrigue and one morning, as the clock strikes the quarter hour, she gets it. A woman has been shot dead in one of Buntoramas upmarket holiday huts, the toffee-nosed rival hotelier next door is rubbing his hands with glee, and Judy and her trusty moped Herbert are off like a shot to survey the scene of the crime.

But nobody can tell her who the dead girl is and theres no clear motive. To have a story to write, Judy must solve the case and the intrepid Miss Dimont will leave no pebble unturned until the truth is out!

Reviews

Praise for T P Fielden:

Peak comfort read has been achieved Red

One of the best in the genre The Sun

This is a fabulously satisfying addition to the canon of vintage crime. No wonder the author has already been signed up to produce more adventures starring the indefatigable Miss Dimont. Daily Express

Unashamedly cosy, with gentle humour and a pleasingly eccentric amateur sleuth, this solid old-fashioned whodunit is the first in what promises to be an entertaining series. The Guardian

Highly amusing Evening Standard

TP Fielden is a fabulous new voice and his dignified, clever heroine is a compelling new character. This delicious adventure is the first of a series and I cant wait for the next one. Wendy Holden, Daily Mail

Must have. A golden age mystery. Sunday Express

Tremendous fun The Independent
