In the charming Yorkshire seaside town of Scarborough, a murder is nothing to sing about . . . After the death of her husband Tom, Helen Dexter is contemplating her future as the now-sole proprietor of the Seaview Hotel. There's an offer from a hotel chain developer to consider, but also a booking from a group of twelve Elvis impersonators, a singing troupe called Twelvis. Tom loved Elvis and for Helen this is a sign that she should stay. But the series of mysterious events which follow, suggests that the developer is not going to give up easily. Then, shortly after Twelvis arrive, one of the group disappears. His body is found floating in a lake, with his blue suede shoes missing. Could the two be connected? With the reputation of the Seaview on the line, Helen isn't going to wait for the murderer to strike again. With her trusty greyhound Suki by her side, she decides to find out more about her guests and who wanted to make sure this Elvis never sang again.
In the world of historical saga writers, there' s a brand new voice * My Weekly * I really enjoyed Glenda' s novel. It' s well researched and well written and I found myself caring about her characters -- Rosie Goodwin Will resonate with saga readers everywhere. . . a wonderful, uplifting story -- Nancy Revell All the ingredients for a perfect saga and I loved Meg; she' s such a strong and believable character. A fantastic debut -- Emma Hornby Glenda has an exceptionally keen eye for domestic detail which brings this local community to vivid, colourful life and Meg is a likeable, loving heroine for whom the reader roots from start to finish -- Jenny Holmes I found it difficult to believe that this was a debut novel, as "brilliant" was the word in my mind when I reached the end. I enjoyed it enormously, being totally absorbed from the first page. I found it extremely well written, and having always loved sagas, one of the best I' ve read -- Margaret Kaine
