The second in the ‘Miss Dimont Mystery’ series lives up to expectations. Step back in time, to just after the Second World War, and travel to the English Riviera, a land of beautiful Devon beaches, beauty pageants, ghastly murder and beastly revenge. As soon as I got my hands on this book I dived in, as I wanted to know more about the fascinating reporter and crime solver Miss Dimont. Several stories are on the go and begin to weave together as the enigmatic Miss Dimont mentors a new trainee reporter. T. P. Fielden writes with a sparse, yet descriptive hand, a bygone era drifts from the pages. ‘Resort to Murder’ is an enjoyable, charming and readable tale, this is fast developing into a cracking new series.
