Description
It isn’t quite 40 days and 40 nights, but the relentless downpour has been blighting the village of Plummergen for over a fortnight, keeping everyone indoors.
Even the ever resourceful Miss Seeton is beginning to experience cabin fever, when her old friend Lady Colveden proposes a welcome shopping expedition, taking in the local auctioneers. Miss S is well aware of the dangers of making any sudden moves at an auction, so how is it that this quiet ex-art teacher becomes the possessor of an ancient padlocked chest, that speaks thrillingly of long-lost treasure?
The mysterious box and its contents will not only lead her to discover a forgotten noble lady – but also a ruthless killer.
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!
