Summary

Having been booked to give a talk at Fethering Library, successful author Burton St Clair invites his old friend Jude to come along. Although they haven't met for 20 years, Jude is not surprised to find that St Clair hasn't changed, with his towering ego and somewhat shaky relationship with the truth.

What Jude hadn't been suspecting, however, was that the evening would end in sudden, violent death. More worrying, from Jude's point of view, is the fact that the investigating police officers seem to be convinced that she herself was responsible for the crime. With the evidence stacking up against her, Jude enlists the help of her neighbour Carole.

Relaxing to listen to.

I enjoyed this book. I have read quite a few of these now and I can’t predict who dunnit! I do enjoy this series of Simon Brett books as they don’t take themselves too seriously but at the same time you don’t have to suspend belief too far either. And they’re not massively gorey, which is a good thing.

Good lockdown listen

As usual Simon Brett comes up trumps with a ood romp which has plenty of red herrings to keep you guessing.

Well written and very enjoyable

Always think I have got the answer only to find the twist in the tail. Have been so enjoying these books during lockdown but sadly I think I am reaching the end of Carol and Jude’s adventure.....so far?

Waste of time and money

Really irritating book. Too much sermonising and an unbelievable ending. Was also distracted by loud breathing through his nose. Struggled to finish it then sorry I bothered.
