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...

This is the first in this series. I had read one a few years ago from the local library and felt a little lost at the beginning. It always helps to read the first book in a multiple book series at some point. In case you are thinking about reading this, picture a slightly batty Miss Marple who does yoga. Still smart in her own way, but things just happen to and around her that solve crimes. She is a former art teacher who draws for the local and London constabulary but her subconscious mind inserts clues and riddles that have to be solved to solve the clue. Many other members of the community also play important parts throughout. A very enjoyable summer read or winter fireside read.
