4.0 out of 5 stars The surreal Miss Seeton, August 5, 2001

This review is from: Miss seeton draws the line (Paperback)

The blurb on the book jacket calls her a "lovable female dabbler" and compares her to Miss Marple. It doesn't mention that she's psychic. Miss Seeton is a retired art teacher whose modus operandi is to draw sketches for the police which turn out to mysteriously contain clues to a crime that's been committed (or will be committed.)

In this, the second Miss Seeton novel, our hero keeps trying to sketch a portrait of a local girl as a gift for her mother. Imagine her dismay when, no matter what she does, the drawing looks like a corpse. Miss Seeton thinks that she might have had a stroke, but the police think that she just might have a clue to a string of child murders that have been plaguing the area...

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful!, May 23, 2010

This review is from: Miss Seeton Draws the Line (Black Dagger Crime Series) (Hardcover)

Heron Carvic's Miss Seeton is delightful. She seems unknowingly to get herself into and out of trouble while bringing bad ones to justice. Unlike the Ms. Seeton I tried to read by Hamilton Crane (that I don't recommend), the characters in this book are full-bodied and have their little foibles, just like real people. In addition, there are lots of lines in this book that I shall use in conversation. I love the Oracle - and all the other characters. The Battling Brolly rules.
