Description for Odds on Miss Seeton (A Miss Seeton Mystery) Paperback. 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! Series: A Miss Seeton Mystery. Num Pages: 224 pages. BIC Classification: FFC. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 198 x 129. .

Miss S. must get a good look at the crook’s face to produce a sketch for the police, a simple task surely.
