For holidaymakers it’s a glorious time of breathtaking scenery, picnics on beaches, and flocks of tourists on their summertime holidays. But for Miss Judy Dimont, this is all a trifle dull. As a reporter for local rag, The Riviera Express, she needs scandal and intrigue – and one morning, as the clock strikes the quarter hour, she gets it. A woman has been shot dead in one of Buntorama’s upmarket holiday huts, the toffee-nosed rival hotelier next door is rubbing his hands with glee, and Judy and her trusty moped Herbert are off like a shot to survey the scene of the crime. But nobody can tell her who the dead girl is and there’s no clear motive. To have a story to write, Judy must solve the case – and the intrepid Miss Dimont will leave no pebble unturned until the truth is out! *** Why readers love TP Fielden: ‘If you like Miss Marple and Poirot then you’ll . Brilliant!’ ‘One of the most fun books I have read… ’ ‘, an easy read, and greatly recommended.’ ‘’ ‘A murder mystery’ ‘A with lots of twists, turns and red herrings’ ‘An entertaining, light hearted read, ’
