Summary
Very little disturbs the ordered calm of Fethering, a pleasingly self-contained retirement town on England's southern coast. Which is precisely why Carole Seddon, who has outlived both her husband and her career at the Home Office, has chosen to reside there. So the last thing Carole expects to encounter in Fethering is a new neighbour with but one name and an obviously colourful past.
'Jude' was not really Fethering...but neither was the body Carole found on the beach. A body, it has to be said, that has disappeared by the time the police arrive. Only Jude is ready to believe what her neighbour says she saw - and from that moment on, the two women are resolved to turn detectives.

Genius
Brett is a genius of the light hearted murder mystery. I wish he got more recognition.

Great story, great fun
Simon Brett is quite an amazing chap. His stories are well paced, and his characterisations are deep and credible.
There is a very endearing wry humour throughout the plots. The amazing thing is that he is such a gifted actor and knows exactly how to narrate his own words and squeeze every last drop of entertainment from them. Great.

The Body in the Beach
Well this was much better narrated than Death and the Decorator- no sniffing!!
A great story though,good to get the background of the setting and how the 2 sleuths met.
Recommend a listen to this.

My first Simon Brett novel
... was a joy. How this guy has written so many books is beyond me. The story was incredibly engaging, beyond anything I've read recently. Simon is perfect as the narrator.

A great modern crime mystery in classic style
Really enjoyed listening to the story and very happy to discover the series of the Feathering village. I am a great fan of the classic English murder mysteries and this is a great one, the next books get even better. The book is set in more recent times but the style is classic. Simon Brett is a wonderful writer and a brilliant narrator.
