Hands Up, Miss Seeton

Rating:
Summary: Great Read
Review: Ms. Seeton adventures are the best reads that I have come across. I am a thirty something that loves these types of British sleuthing novels. I re-read these novels several times a year, I have them all. My favorite used bookstore in Los Angeles had the entire series out of out-of-print ones, so I stocked up on all of them at once. They were over with too quickly. .... Maybe I should have waited and only gotten one book a month!!

They are truly one of a kind. I love the time period and the many scrapes that she seems to fall into. They're truly hilarious, while the novels maintain the suspense. I love Britain and try to get to London and environs once every couple of years or so.

Summary: Hands Up, Miss Seeton
Review: This book is a must for Miss Seeton fans. I have copies of all the Seeton books and have enjoyed every one. All of the Crane versions are well written and have stayed true to Carvic's depiction of the characters, but this one comes closest to the humor in the original Carvic versions.

FOR YOUR EYES ONLY: When Miss Seeton's Finest Hour came out, it was not as well done as earlier books, and I got the impression perhaps Crane is tiring of the character; that this might be the last Seeton book she plans to undertake. I hope I am wrong. If not, I hope the Carvic estate can find another good writer to continue the character.

Summary: A disappointing sequel to Carvic's character.
Review: Unfortunately, although Hamilton has aquired Harvic's interesting character Miss Seeton, he has lost a good deal of the former's charm. Carvic's books had an amazing way of having logical actions result in illogicaland humorous consequences. I find Hamilton starting from illogical actions AND situations. I much prefer the original work by Carvic.
