Description
Eccentric artist and indomitable amateur sleuth Primrose Oughterard is back in Lewes after her 'Baden-Baden' sojourn, but finds tragedy on her doorstep once again with the news that Elspeth Travers has drowned at sea while bathing at Birling Gap. The unfortunate Mrs Travers met her chilly demise in a black ruched swimming costume and pink floral cap, but Primrose is sure something is afoot. Elspeth hated swimming, and indeed frothy swimming hats – why was she in the water, and was her death really a tragic accident?
With so much incompetence around, Primrose feels compelled to investigate, and soon uncovers secrets, betrayal and nefarious deeds – with the help of her newly acquired pets, Maurice and Bouncer, inherited from her late brother, Francis. But just when Primrose thinks she's solved the mystery, there’s an incredible twist...

Cristina M, Reviewer
As a long-time fan of Suzette A. Hill's comic mystery novels, and a particular fan of the Francis Oughterard /Primrose Oughterard Mysteries, I welcomed this addition to the series with whoops of joy! Ms Hill's writing is witty, original and of a superior quality for this genre. The plot for this installment was particularly clever in that the murderer/s seem to get their comeuppance rather quickly and we move on to another murder... like falling dominoes. Cleverly done with parts of Sussex being beautifully evoked and easily recognisable despite the book being set in the 50s.
Don't for a minute think that having the book written in the form of multiple viewpoints complicates it - it enriches it, especially since we have a very intelligent cat and a very energetic dog weighing in. It is handled with a light comic touch that never undermines the quality of the series and is indeed one of it' unique selling points. Please pick up this series and start from book 1 if it is new to you. It's a witty, intelligent delight and a tonic in these uncertain, worrying times. Ms Hill, please don't stop!
