I have copies of the five original Miss Seeton books by Heron Carvic. I also read some of the others by the later authors but didn't pursue them farther when I decided they hadn't the deft touch that Carvic displayed with his writing. I personally feel he had the best feel for his characters without the sometimes stilted feeling from the later authors. I also liked Mr. Carvic's wry British humor which didn't come through in the later books. It confirmed my belief that someone else trying to pick up after another author most often can't.

Good evening Danna,
I was so happy when I just found a comment about Miss Seeton mysteries.I bought my first book about miss Emily in England, but since that time my Slovak friends living in Canada are unable to find this mysteries in print there. Yes, I only read 3 of them and remember left one of them on the bus on my way to Uni,regretted that million times over. I loved Miss Seeton's help-the superintendent and young pair in love always helps.!!
