From Kirkus Reviews
If you've ever wondered why the Channel tunnel didn't open 20 years ago, you can thank everyone's favorite retired art teacher/sleuth, Miss Emily Seeton (Sweet Miss Seeton, 1996, etc., etc.). Caught up in a burst of Plummergen charity spurred by an unexpected legacy of reclusive pensioner Horace Jowett, Miss Seeton still has time to accompany the village Junior Mixed Infants on a day trip to France, where she meets Sir George Colveden's old friend Count Jean-Louis de Balivernes; to help entertain the Count when he and his daughter Louise repay the visit; and to make the sketches that help Scotland Yard--already thoroughly alarmed by an unexploded wartime bomb the tunnel drilling crew has run up against--identify first a murder victim and then her killer. This time, though, Miss Seeton is hampered by a pallid mystery and a culprit who'll fool only readers dazed by the thick overlay of village gossip. --

Miss Seeton crosses the English Channel--and captures the hearts of readers and critics everywhere--in her newest case of mystery and mayhem. But this time, an uncovered bomb from World War II promises a most explosive conclusion.
