Plummergen, that "peaceful" village in Kent where Miss Seeton resides, is currently the center of three exciting activities. One, a local charity group is sponsoring a drive to buy wheelchairs for children, Two, The construction of the channel tunnel is inspiring a visit to France, and Three, Mrs. Blaine and Miss Nuttel (the Nuts) have a visitor. Guess which topic is generating the most discussion?

All seems quiet on the Miss Seeton front, at least, and the book is deceptively crime-free for the first half or more. But murder eventually strikes, and all that peace and quiet is bound to come to a spectacular end. It's enough to put Anglo-French relations back 20 years!

I really enjoy this series. I love Miss Seeton and her crazy neighbors crack me up. Really funny. ( )
