Summary

 The first in a new cosy crime series from Glenda Young, this whodunnit is perfect for fans of Julia Chapman's Dales Detective Agency, Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder Club, Betty Rowlands and Helen Cox.

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!

This is a really easy, enjoyable listen. Very good narration and a fun read with a good storyline. The main attraction for me is the wonderful Scarborough setting.

The accents of the narrator ruined this book for me - I could have quite happily mosied through the narrative but the narrator let this down - her accents indecipherable! Plan to read the book instead.
