What to expect
In the charming Yorkshire seaside town of Scarborough, a murder is nothing to sing about...
After the death of her husband Tom, Helen Dexter is contemplating her future as the now-sole proprietor of the Seaview Hotel.
There's an offer from a hotel chain developer to consider, but also a booking from a group of twelve Elvis impersonators, a singing troupe called Twelvis. Tom loved Elvis and for Helen this is a sign that she should stay.
But the series of mysterious events which follow, suggests that the developer is not going to give up easily. Then, shortly after Twelvis arrive, one of the group disappears. His body is found floating in a lake, with his blue suede shoes missing. Could the two be connected?
With the reputation of the Seaview on the line, Helen isn't going to wait for the murderer to strike again. With her trusty greyhound Suki by her side, she decides to find out more about her guests and who wanted to make sure this Elvis never sang again.
Helen and Suki return in Set for Murder at the Seaview Hotel - coming soon!

5⭐️ = Very Good.
This was an excellent start in this cosy, yet believable ( in a funny kind of way) series.
The characters were wonderful and I smiled all the way through - yes, even when there was murder afoot!😃
It was set in Scarborough, in the UK, and having been there myself, I could visualise the beach and seafront.
Murder revolving around an Elvis convention…who would have thought it?
I think this would appeal to many overseas readers ( overseas from me here in UK, that is 😁).Julie7 2025-09-26
