A short, fast read book, but even so, it was not innocuous. Mayhem abounds, kicked off by what had appeared to be perfectly innocent flirting. Fun.
Have just started Picture Miss Seeton, by Heron Carvic. Set in England, it is pretty old (c 1968) and is the first of at least ten books in the series. Miss Seeton is not (at least yet) a Miss Marple type character since she is quite conservative and does not look for or appreciate interaction with the law or controversy. It was just a coincidence that she was walking past a man who appeared to be hitting his girlfriend, and she, considering such behavior rude, quite naturally poked him with her umbrella. It was just a coincidence that she got a good look at his face and that, when it was discovered that he had just stabbed the woman to death, Miss Seeton, being a retired art teacher, was quite capable to drawing his face. Now she is the only witness and the murderer is known to police as criminal, but still at large.
