Publishers Weekly Review: The redoubtable Miss Seeton, seen last in the pseudonymous Crane's Miss Seeton Undercover, here foils the dastardly plans of a gang bent on treason. Gathering to gossip at their English village post office, the women of Plummergen discuss the pending arrival of Princess Georgina for the opening of the nearby nuclear facility. Another topic is the strange doings of two older local ladies who are amassing a strange assortment of goods and seem to be digging a coffin-sized hole in their backyard. One of Plummergen's children is chosen to present the Princess with flowers; accompanying young Sally and her mother on the big day is Miss Seeton, whose finery includes an inherited necklace. Uranium salts used in the necklace's painted beads activate the security bells and, in the ensuing confusion, the Princess is kidnapped. Then Miss Seeton herself is abducted. Her old friend, Scotland Yard's Chief Inspector Delphick, investigates, using Miss Seeton's sketches as clues. Crane adeptly gives readers a feel for English village life and the meandering style used by Miss Seeton's originator, Heron Carvic, in the 1970s. (Oct.)

"Royalty is coming to Plummergen. The much-beloved Princess Georgina is due to arrive shortly, and the villagers are plotting to outdo their neighbors in Murreystone and make a grand impression during the visit. But at the same time, a much more sinister plot is brewing. A mysterious underground organization has plans for "The Petite Princess." And Miss Seeton - unwittingly, of course - helps them carry out their scheme when she creates a disturbance during a tour of the local power plant. When the hubbub has subsided, Georgina is missing. Now Scotland Yard is questioning Miss Seeton about the disappearance of the princess - and the retired art teacher herself will be in terrible danger as a treasonous scheme unfolds..."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
