The fifth in Glenda Young's irresistible cosy crime series, this unbearable whodunnit is perfect for fans of Julia Chapman's Dales Detective Agency and Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder Club. The 1980s pop band, The A64, reunites for the performance of a lifetime at Scarborough's Open Air Theatre, and Helen Dexter is thrilled when they book into her Seaview Hotel. However, as old tensions rise within the band, it becomes clear that every musician has something to hide. Why is the lead singer, Starr, running from her past? Why is Pete, the drummer, secretive about where he has been the last forty years? And when guitarist Dave breaks his leg in an unfortunate window-cleaning accident, a new guitarist arrives, causing even more discord for everyone. Then, as the band rehearses for their comeback, they find a dead body. Can Seaview Hotel owner Helen Dexter and her rescue grey phantom, Suki, hit the right note and solve the crime?
The Seaview Hotel novel series was nominated for Best New Crime Series alongside popular series by Richard Osman and Val McDermid at the Dead Good Readers Awards.
