The storyline in Miss Seeton Sings is more violent than the other Miss Seeton books I’ve read. A character is ruthlessly dismembered in the bath and then distributed around Paris in suitcases – oh, and Miss Seeton unknowingly brings the victims forearm home inside a wedding present for young friends. Add to that the brief foray into a naked stage show, that the author has a concussed Miss Seeton participating in, dragged this far-fetched tale right down into an unenjoyable farce for me.
Carvic gift trans and homosexuals with a very positive - “we all accept your choice” - 21st-century vibe; very unusual for the 1970’s.
I prefer Mrs. Pollifax ~ Dorothy Gilman, Miss Silver ~ Patricia Wentworth, or, Miss Marple ~ Agatha Christie to Carvic’s Miss Seeton, any day.
