 writing as Hampton Charles, and Sarah J. Mason writing as Hamilton Crane. Cosy Mysteries lists the books as the "Retired British Art Teacher in England Series".

Miss Seeton inadvertently draws psychologically and, perhaps, psychically informative sketches that allow Inspector Delphic and his assistant Bob Ranger to solve the crime. The primary plot element is Miss Seeton finding herself in an awkward situation as a result of logical and ladylike actions. The series is more humorous than most cosies.
