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.
<p><strong>PRAISE FOR <em>MISS SEETON</em>:</strong></p>
<p>'This is not so much black comedy as black-currant comedy . . . You can't stop reading. Or laughing' <strong><em>The Sun</em></strong></p>
<p>'A most beguiling protagonist!' <strong><em>New York Times</em></strong></p>
<p>'Miss Seeton gets into wild drama with fine touches of farce . . . This is a lovely mixture of the funny and the exciting' <strong><em>San Francisco Chronicle</em></strong></p>
<p>Miss Seeton is the most delightfully satisfactory character since Miss Marple' <em></em><strong><em>Ogden Nash</em></strong></p>
<p>'Depth of description and lively characters bring this English village to life' <em><strong>Publishers Weekly</strong></em></p>
‘Ibbley, obbley, onker, my first conker!’ The ancient warcry of English conker battles heralds autumn in the Kentish countryside, where Plummergen, Miss Seeton’s home village, and its great rival Murreystone, are holding their Produce Show and – this year – impromptu fisticuffs!
Plus it’s Trafalgar Day, and at Admiral Buzzard’s ‘gin pennant’ party for local ex-officers there’s 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 – antique shops ramraided, homes robbed, then a life lost – 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!
The village is abuzz, as a TV crew searches for a rare apple, the Plummergen Peculier—while police hunt a murderous thief . . . and with Miss Seeton at the centre of it all.
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!
