About this listen

It wasn't the rain that upset Carole Seddon during her walk on the West Sussex Downs. It wasn't the dilapidated barn in which she was forced to seek shelter. No, what upset her most was the human skeleton she discovered there....

So begins the second investigation for straitlaced Carole and her more laid-back neighbour Jude. This time their enquiries take them away from Fethering to the small download hamlet of Weldsham, where gossips quickly identify the corpse as Tamsin Lutteridge, a young woman who had disappeared from the village months before....

They’re funny, these. Each one so far starts off with a description of indescribably (except that they ARE well described!) awful people-the protagonist herself is not hugely attractive - an yet, each time, a compelling, exciting, and well crafted story emerges. So: if you start one, and think, ‘I can’t bear any of these people’, stick with it. Well narrated, too.

Another good one

Simon Brett never fails to amuse in good fashion with the wittiest characters and such good impressions of them. I love all his books and if you are looking for a good cosy crime story I would highly recommend the Fethering mysteries. Excellent.

The wonderful narration
