July 1910. Lady Hardcastle and her tireless sidekick Flo have finally embarked on a long-overdue seaside break. But just as they’re wavering between ice creams and donkey rides, their fellow guests start to go missing - and the duo find themselves with a hysterical hotel manager and a case to solve.

The first to disappear is Dr Goddard, a scientist doing something terribly top-secret for the government. Gone too are his strongbox and its mysterious contents. By the time Lady Hardcastle has questioned the horde of international guests, her number-one suspect has been dispatched in grisly circumstances - and then the others start vanishing too.

As the case begins to look like a matter of national security, Lady Hardcastle takes advice from her brother in the secret service. But could there be an even more personal connection at play? To solve the case, Lady Hardcastle may face a shocking discovery of her own.

For me, this is T E Kinsey back to full strength. The book is light, funny and impeccably read by Elizabeth Knowelden.

There is more than a nod to Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None" and a final solution to a puzzle that surfaced in A Picture of Murder.

I have to admit I pre-order any of T E Kinsey's books as I enjoy them so much but this one shone brighter than the previous two. Lady Hardcastle and Flo work so well together and this time Lady Hardcastle's brother Harry makes a more solid appearance (previously we saw the most of him in Death Around The Bend). I doubt the humour is contrived, it's just that I think the author has a wicked sense of humour and this translates into the prose.

Well done and will there be more please?

Seriously, a holiday?

This is another terrific holiday mystery for Lady Hardcastel and Flow to solve, with spy's appearing from every corner, and dropping like flies. Read brilliantly again by Elizabeth Knowelden.
