In the charming Yorkshire seaside town of Scarborough, a killer game is being played . . .
Helen Dexter is enjoying the new four-star status of the Seaview Hotel. But she begins to wonder if this accolade is cursed when a series of disasters strike.
It starts when a crazy golf team arrive to play in a Scarborough tournament. Their odd behaviour heightens when the rival team captain turns up. Yet, there’s worse to come for Helen when one of the guests is murdered playing crazy golf.
Then the Seaview’s prize-winning cook Jean quits, leaving Helen devastated. And so, as Helen’s fiftieth birthday approaches, the last thing she’s in the mood for is a celebration. However, mysterious invitations arrive to a party that Helen doesn’t want.
Can Helen unmask the crazy golf killer, save the reputation of the Seaview, win Jean back and solve the mystery of the party invitations? With her rescue greyhound Suki by her side, Helen Dexter is on the case.

Never a dull moment in the Seaview Hotel: another great easy to read chapter in this Cosy Crime Mystery series, thoroughly enjoyed the story line, never knew how crazy the world was until Glenda had brought Scarborough to life , bring on book 4 but don’t keep your readers waiting so long ????

What a wonderful book to read, thank you Glenda!! I have read all 3 of the Helen Dexter Mysteries and have thoroughly enjoyed them all!! The book is very well written with interesting characters and is set in my home town of Scarborough. I look forward to reading more of Glenda’s books

This is the third of the Seaview Hotel novels, and yet again seaside landlady Helen has a hotel full of odd-bods, who make a block booking but don’t seem to get on with each other. Everyone has a secret, which is gradually uncovered, and then one of the guests dies in mysterious circumstances. Are the other guests in the frame? The author works through all the different possibilities, throwing in a few red herrings along the way. The main character is usually supported by her cook Jean and cleaner Sally, a strong female friendship group at the heart of the book, but there is a twist in this one in that Helen has fallen out with Jean and is having to rely on Sally’s mum for the cleaning while Sally is away. There is again the will-they-won’t-they romance with Jimmy and an exciting suspect chase involving the trams. It is clear the author knows and loves Scarborough, which is almost a character in the books, so lovingly is it described. Gentle heartwarming cosy crime novel.

I loved the first in the series, not so much the second, but this one is properly back on track! And I’m hoping there’ll be more. Scarborough, greyhounds (whose teeth chatter when happy, not impatient for a walk – that’s when they swirl their tails, stamp their feet, snap their teeth at the air and become a moving obstacle course, trust me, I know!), a cozy mystery, and lovely descriptions of the coast and the sea… an absolute delight!

Loved this book, hope she writes another
