Synopsis
Very little disturbs the ordered calm of Fethering, a pleasingly self-contained retirement 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. `Simon Brett comes up trumps yet again... an excellent thriller.` Irish News `A new Simon Brett novel is an event for mystery fans.` P. D. James `Pure pleasure from beginning to end.` Birmingham Post `I stayed up until three in the morning finishing this delightful, thoroughly English whodunnit.` Daily Mail

About the Author
Simon Brett worked as a producer in radio and television before taking up writing full-time. He is the author of the much-loved Fethering mysteries, Charles Paris series and the Mrs Pargeter novels. In 2014 he was awarded the Crime Writers' Association's prestigious Diamond Dagger for sustained excellence and contribution to crime writing, and in 2016 was awarded an OBE for his services to literature. He lives in an Agatha Christie-style village in the South Downs.
From AudioFile
Finding dead bodies definitely does not happen in Feathering, and solving mysteries is decidedly not among Carole Siddon's sensible activities. Events, alas, take over, and the story reveals the darker sides of an English seaside town. Pungent wit flows razor-sharp out of Howard; each word is uttered with an exactitude that perfectly mirrors the droll social commentary that sets Brett's book apart from the rest of its genre. Line after line, Howard evokes characters and milieu. Great fun! S.B.S. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
