This review is from: Miss Seeton by Appointment (Heron Carvic's Miss Seeton) (Paperback)

Miss Seeton is flustered by an invitation to Garden Party at Buckingham Palace. Naturally, the Queen will never be the same. Actually, the queen only makes a brief appearance in the book, but Miss Seeton is involved in affairs of state and helps her good friends, the Colvedens, protect some fabulous art treasures from a thief.

It starts when the Secret Service enlist her unknowing help to investigate a member of the royal household, an art curator in the palace. But it soon grows into an investigation into jewel thieves, the art world, and a blackmailer. Nigel Colveden's latest crush is the much publicised Marigold Naseby, high fashion model, coming to stay with the Colvedens and be photographed wearing some of their famous collection of Lalique jewelry. But Marigold has a secret. Miss Seeton decides to help the girl, and chaos naturally ensues.

A very funny book. I really loved the ending. Various local police officers and Scotland yard all face off against the criminal, but only Miss Seeton can really save the day.
