Story
'There you have it -' Miss Dimont smiled and, lifting her dark glasses, turned to face the trainee reporter '- in a nutshell. A mystery death. Needs looking into, wouldn't you say?' Death stalks the beaches of Devon. With its pale, aquamarine waters and golden sands, the shoreline at Temple Regis was a sight to behold. But when an unidentifiable body is found there one morning, the most beautiful beach in Devon is turned into a crime scene.

Publisher's Summary
Murder can strike at any hour....
It’s the late 1950s in tranquil Temple Regis, Devon.
For holidaymakers it’s a glorious time of breathtaking scenery, picnics on beaches, and flocks of tourists on their summertime holidays.
But for Miss Judy Dimont, this is all a trifle dull. As a reporter for local rag, The Riviera Express, she needs scandal and intrigue - and one morning, as the clock strikes the quarter hour, she gets it. A woman has been shot dead in one of Buntorama’s upmarket holiday huts, the toffee-nosed rival hotelier next door is rubbing his hands with glee, and Judy and her trusty moped, Herbert, are off like a shot to survey the scene of the crime.
But nobody can tell her who the dead girl is, and there’s no clear motive. To have a story to write, Judy must solve the case - and the intrepid Miss Dimont will leave no pebble unturned until the truth is out!

Another entertaining mystery story
I enjoyed this almost as much as the first two stories. All the regular characters are developing and evolving through the series, which adds interest. Good sense of the period, too.
Two deaths in this one! I felt the responsible person was sneaked-in a little, and the resolution was a teeny bit out-of-the-blue.

Love the book and the narrator
These books by TP Fielden are a real find. Capture the period - tick, capture the interest - tick and have great characters - tick. Each story is different and reveal a little more about the characters who inhabit Miss Dimm's world.
