“As in Agatha Christie mysteries, the characters are larger than life, but all the clues are provided to help the reader feel part of the puzzle-solving process. Simon Brett has a good track record….He’s onto another winner with the Fethering mysteries.”—Birmingham Evening Mail

“Like all the best English whodunits, this murder mystery is set in one of those Home Counties villages where everything looks immaculate on the outside but old secrets have been simmering. Beautifully plotted, with a sharp eye for the social comedy of middle-class, middle England.”—Daily Mail (London)

“Geoffrey Howard gives a sensitive reading to Brett’s novel…resulting in a mystery as riveting as it is charming.”—AudioFile
