Miss Emily D. Seeton, retired art teacher, steps in where Scotland Yard stumbles. Armed with only her sketch pad and umbrella, she is every inch an eccentric English spinster and at every turn the most lovable and unlikely master of detection. Scotland Yard believes that Miss Seeton's rather unusual drawings for the Best Kept Village Competition may hold vital clues to a recent series of fires. And when two corpses turn up -- and someone sets Miss Seeton's cottage ablaze -- the whole town is burning with curiosity.
The second one by Hamilton Crane. This one features the race to the 'Best Kept Village Competition.' Miss Seeton is keeping very busy, doing a bit of substitute teaching and drawing some pictures for the village to go along with the improvements. But what has police concerned is that she seems to be drawing buildings in flames. And there's an arsonist about. What is Miss Seeton trying to tell them? And will they figure it out before her own house goes up in flames? So much fun! Really recommended. Lots of laughs.
