Book

Death on the Downs (2001)

Book 2. in this series by Simon Brett, featuring once again, retired Home Office employee, Carole Seddon and her next-door-neighbour, Jude. Incidentally, Carole still does not know Jude's surname and is no closer to knowing a great deal about Jude than she was when they first met. Carole is out f...

The Body on the Beach (2001)

This is one of those charming cozy mysteries, in the vein of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple, portraying a quaint, quirky English village, of the type which probably only exists in fiction as it's so quaint and so quirky as to be unreal, and its quaint, quirky inhabitants. (And, yes, I'm going to ...

Murder in the Museum (2004)

Carol Seddon is a new trustee for Brackets, former home of somewhat second-string 20th century author Esmond Chadleigh, most famous for the lament he wrote about his brother's death in WWI and his own happy family life. Then a body at least 50 years buried shows up in the former kitchen gardens, ...

The Stabbing in the Stables (2006)

Surprise, surprise! I had read this one before. I didn't recognize the title (although it should be memorable) before picking it up, but as I went on it started sounding more familiar. Typical with me, although I remembered bits and pieces of it, most of it was still a mystery to me and required ...

Guns in the Gallery (2011)

I gave this 4 stars simply because I love the Fethering series and it's characters. The story was good with a simple plot. Typical of Brett, the villain is usually a side character that is rarely seen and everything gets linked together by a slim coincidence. Carol is the more realistic charac...

The Shooting in the Shop. by Simon Brett (2011)

This is another series that I've kept up with over the years. This British "Fethering Mystery" features Carole Seddon, a retired Home Office civil servant and her friend, Jude, a healing consultant. These two friends are on total opposite end of the spectrum--Carole is very stiff-upper lip uptigh...

Bones Under the Beach Hut (2011)

I have read most of the books of this series. I like this as a mystery. It is difficult to make an amateur duo work, but Brett does a very good job of that. What I really did not like about this one was the overly mean spiritedness of Carol. She has been self absorbed in the earlier books, which ...

The Poisoning in the Pub (2009)

Jude and Carole are friends in the small town of Fethering. They have lunch together in their local pub, the Crown and Anchor, and are victims of food poisoning. Their friend Ted Crisp, the pub's owner, is soon the focus of too many incidents to be accidental and then the pub is the location of ...
