Murder At The Seaview Hotel by Glenda Young
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.
3 copies of Murder at the Seaview Hotel to be won.

HEARTBREAK HOTEL
Being of that ‘certain age’, where the likes of Elvis Presley, Cliff Richard, Donnie Osmond and David Cassidy posters covered my bedroom walls, an Elvis LP was amongst one of the first I owned.
My friend Sharon and I played the thing over and over until we new every word to all the songs and my parents were driven insane.
‘Love Me Tender’ was our favourite duet, so is the song I remember most vividly! 🙂
