Description

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. It's practically a Royal Marriage! The highly eligible son of Miss Seeton's old friends Sir George and Lady Colveden has wed the daughter of a French count. Miss Seeton lends her talents to the village scheme to create a quilted 'Bayeux Tapestry' for Nigel and his bride. But her intuitive sketches reveal a startingly different persepctive - involving buried secrets, and links to murder. Miss Seeton returns! - a new original (the first in almost 20 years) for this classic series of humorous cosy mysteries created by Heron Carvic. AUTHOR: Hamilton Crane is the pseudonym used by Sarah J. Mason when writing 13 sequels and one prequel to the Miss Seeton series. She has also written detective fiction under her own name.

Author Bio

Hamilton Crane is the pseudonym used by Sarah J. Mason when writing for the Miss Seeton series. She has also written detective fiction under her own name, but should not be confused with the Sarah Mason (no middle initial) who writes a rather different kind of book.

After half a century in Hertfordshire (if we ignore four years in Scotland and one in New Zealand), Sarah J. Mason now lives in Somerset-within easy reach of the beautiful city of Wells, and just far enough from Glastonbury to avoid the annual traffic jams.
