Summary
The Elizabethan house of Bracketts is about to be turned into a museum. It had once been the home of the celebrated poet Esmund Chadleigh and is to become a shrine to his life and poetry - but the transition is far from smooth. Carole Seddon had been reluctant to join the Bracketts Board, and now she realises that she should have listened to her instinct. The simmering tension between the board members is about to boil over. A human skeleton is discovered in the kitchen garden, and before too long there is a second body, not yet cold. Murder is no longer just a dreadful possibility but a certainty.

Cosy murder mystery
I stumbled on these as I love the Charles Paris mysteries. It's great that they are a series and perfect as audio stories before bedtime or on a rainy afternoon. I particularly like that the characters are middle aged women and more rounded characters than the usual stereotypes. The stories are complete in themselves but added interest comes from additional revelations about the main protagonists' histories. Simon Brett conveys the characters so well in his reading.

Another good one
Satisfying story; well told & well narrated. Good to learn more about Jude, but no spoilers here. On to the next one!

Love this series
These characters are interesting and annoying at the same time, I frequently want to slap Carol, but she reminds me of so many people I’ve known.
Easy listening, glad there’s more to ‘read’

One of the best murder mysteries
Possibly my favourite of the first five books. I like how the main characters develop as well as their relationship and friendship. The story is very well researched and such a good mystery! Simon Brett again amazed me with his gift for describing different characters and insight into human nature, and he is a wonderful narrator. On to the next in the series for me!

Dark themes but entertaining!
I enjoyed this a lot more on second listening, as I was prepared for its sadness & poignancy. So expect a bit more emotion & tragedy than the first two Fethering Mysteries! Although I do find it somewhat implausible just how chilled & sanguine Jude is in every situation...probably because I am more of an uptight Carole type!

Interesting
A bit slow to start and lacking in excitement. I prefer the stories that centre on the relationship between Jude and Carol which this book didn't really. However, the story picked up as the book progressed and the ending was both intriguing and satisfactory.
