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 that follow suggests that the developer is not going to give up easily. Then, shortly after Twelvis arrives, 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.

What readers and reviewers are saying about Murder at the Seaview Hotel:

This cosy crime mystery will leave you all shook up!

The characters are well-developed, and the plot is full of twists and turns. I was completely engrossed in the story from start to finish.

The setting of the Seaview Hotel is beautifully described, and it added to the atmosphere of the book. I could almost feel the sea breeze and hear the waves crashing on the shore.

The mystery itself is well-plotted, and I was constantly guessing who the murderer was. There were plenty of red herrings and unexpected turns, which kept me guessing until the very end.

I particularly enjoyed the relationship between Helen and Suki. Suki is a loyal and intelligent greyhound, and she adds a touch of humour to the story. I found myself rooting for Helen and Suki as they worked together to solve the murder.

Overall, Murder at the Seaview Hotel is a great read for fans of cosy crime mysteries. If you're looking for a book that will keep you entertained and guessing until the very end, this is the one for you.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good mystery with a touch of humour. I can't wait to read more books by Clare Chase in the future.
