Miss Seeton Quilts the Village (A Miss Seeton Mystery Book 22)
Miss Seeton is back! A new original for this classic series of humorous cosy mysteries.
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’ of local history, inspired by the wedding. But her intuitive sketches reveal a startlingly different perspective – involving buried Nazi secrets, and links to the mysterious death of a diplomat and to a South American dictator . . .
Serene amidst every kind of skulduggery, this eccentric English spinster steps in where Scotland Yard stumbles, armed with nothing more than her sketchpad and umbrella!
The first new mystery in this much-loved series for almost twenty years. Find out why the world can’t get enough of Miss Seeton!
What readers are saying:
“Miss Seeton is a hoot! I was torn between laughter and eye rolling with each page turn. The characters are loveable and thoroughly British. This is a perfect specimen of classic British mystery.“
“What a joy Miss Seeton is. Why did I wait so long to read them? Splashy characters, lovely setting, and just plain funny.â€
“I've become a Miss Ess addict. Great characters that get better with each book. A must for anyone who loves a good British cozy with a twist, and surprising revelations of what a good brollie can do in a pinch.â€
“What a great series. This is one of the best in English light reading mysteries.â€
“All of the Miss Seeton books are a delight. Just fun reading.â€
“LOVED this - the writing style is clever and unfolds much like a wonderful farce or a comedy of errors. You'll just fall in love with Miss Seeton - she's now my favorite British maiden aunt, and the supporting cast is a lot of fun too.â€
“Very entertaining. Better than Miss Marple. Can't wait to read more.â€
“Heron Carvic's inspired gentle satire of such elderly lady detectives as Miss Marple and Miss Silver is simply hilarious. Miss Seeton floats blithely through life, oblivious to the fact that she and her trusty umbrella are foiling bad guys at every turn.â€
“Miss Seeton is a delightful sendup of the amateur sleuth. If your doctor has prescribed laughter as the best medicine, run and buy the entire series as fast as you can.â€
“I fell in love with the character of Miss Seeton. It was a breath of fresh air compared to what is being written today.â€
“How could you not love Miss Seeton?? So innocent, and kind. But, don't mess with her and her trusty umbrella!!â€
“She drove me crazy then and she drives me crazy now, and yet, I will probably read the whole series again on my Kindle. There is something absolutely mesmerizing about this delightful lady . . . Will she ever wake up to the world?“
