review 1: Light reading, mystery set in West Sussex with two middle-aged female amateur sleuths. While not entirely convinced that people would tell such ladies so much when it really isn't any of their business, this series is enjoyable for its gentle social comment and observation (and i...

review 1: Nice easy read, not too demanding. I have read some others in this series as they turn up (it doesn't really matter with these if not read in order, I think). There was a surprise twist at the end, and some slightly implausible explanations for motive. He is good at social observ...

review 1: Another light read, with the usual occasional barbed comment aimed at the West Sussex middle classes - this time an amateur dramatic society. A bit less of Carole this time and a bit more of Jude; quite glad that this one didn't contain the what-happened-to-everyone-in-years-to-c...
