Description
Every year when the harvest moon shines, families of noisy Cockney hop-pickers descend on the bountiful countryside near the village of Plummergen, home to Miss Emily Seeton, artist and Scotland Yard aide extraordinaire.
But the holiday jollity brings no cheer for local police Superintendent Brinton, who is all too aware it's a whole year since the gruesome "Blonde in the Bag" murder, and they are still no nearer a solution.
Will Miss S be asked to set aside her newfound hobby of gardening and lend a hand? And where in her strange sketches of the Last Night of the Proms are the clues that might identify a brutal killer?
Miss Seeton digs deep to uncover the hidden roots of a crime.
About the Author
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.
