Miss Seeton Undercover
α’αααΈααααα βα’αα‘α·α ααααΌαα·αααα
Plus itβs Trafalgar Day, and at Admiral Buzzardβs βgin pennantβ party for local ex-officers thereβs another near punch-up. Altogether a riveting backdrop for the presenters of a popular TV cookery show, visiting in search of rare heritage apples like the Plummergen Peculier.
Only the police have time to notice the worsening local crime wave β antique shops ramraided, homes robbed, then a life lost β until Miss Seeton is coaxed into playing a core role.
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!
What people are saying about Miss Seeton:βMiss 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.β
βWhat a joy Miss Seeton is. Why did I wait so long to read them? Splashy characters, lovely setting, and just plain funny.β
βI'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.β
βWhat a great series. This is one of the best in English light reading mysteries.β
βMiss 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.β

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 Somersetβwithin easy reach of the beautiful city of Wells, and just far enough from Glastonbury to avoid the annual traffic jams.
