Emily D. Seeton, also known as Miss Seeton or MissEss, is the fictional heroine of a series of British
cosy mystery novels by
Heron Carvic,
Roy Peter Martin
Roy Peter Martin (5 January 1931 – 23 March 2014) was an English author who wrote primarily under the pseudonyms James Melville and Hampton Charles.
Martin was born in London and studied philosophy at Birkbeck College. He served in the Royal ...
writing as Hampton Charles, and
Sarah J. Mason writing as
Hamilton Crane. Cosy Mysteries lists the books as the "Retired British Art Teacher in England Series".
Miss Seeton inadvertently draws psychologically and, perhaps, psychically informative sketches that allow Inspector Delphick and his assistant Bob Ranger to solve the crime. The primary plot element is Miss Seeton finding herself in an awkward situation as a result of logical and ladylike actions.
