    X marks the spot for murder…

    Temple Regis, 1959: Devon’s prettiest seaside resort is thrown into turmoil by the discovery of a body abandoned in the lighthouse.

    It’s only weeks since another body was found in the library – and for the Riviera Express’s ace reporter-turned-sleuth Judy Dimont, there’s an added complication. Her friend Geraldine Phipps is begging her to re-investigate a mysterious death from many years before.

    What’s more, Judy’s position as chief reporter is under threat when her editor takes on hot-shot journalist David Renishaw, whose work is just too good to be true.

    Life is busier than ever for Devon's most famous detective. Can Judy solve the two mysteries – and protect her position as Temple Regis’s best reporter – before the murderer strikes again?

      ‘One of the best in the genre’ THE SUN ‘A fabulously satisfying addition to the canon of vintage crime’ DAILY EXPRESS ‘A delicious adventure’ DAILY MAIL on The Riviera Express *** Murder can strike at any hour… It’s the late 1950s in tranquil Temple Regis, Devon. 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! *** ‘A gripping third instalment of the Miss Dimont Mystery series’ Hello! *** Why readers love TP Fielden: ‘If you like Miss Marple and Poirot then you’ll love TP Fielden. Brilliant!’ ‘One of the most fun books I have read… reminds me of the golden era of crime writing’ ‘Delicious characters, an easy read, enormous fun and greatly recommended.’ ‘A wonderful romp’ ‘A delightful, well written, witty murder mystery’ ‘A thrilling mystery with lots of twists, turns and red herrings’ ‘An entertaining, light hearted read, perfect to brighten any afternoon’
