Fethering Mystery

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 observation - I think I might worry a bit if I were one of Simon Brett's neighbours! I like Carole and Jude, although I'm always surprised that people tell them as much as they do. I'm not sure that the final part about what happened to everyone afterwards was really necessary (I would have liked to think that Polly's manuscript would have been published, but it's not mentioned !)
review 2: Just finished this one in the Fethering Mystery series by Simon Brett. A very good whodunit, I really ... moredidn’t know the culprit until the reveal came together. In fact, I was off following another red herring for a good part of the book. :) The misdirection was particularly well done in this outing of the series.As always the intrepid team of Jude and Carole work together, relying on their disparate talents to come together to solve the crime. The partnership of sleuths, Jude and Carole, really make these books for me. In this book, Carole becomes more aware of her place in the community of Fethering and succumbs to more of Jude’s influence. The characters of Jude and Carole are well crafted to give a humorous nod to stereotypical characters without being stereotypes themselves. The other characters have their own quirks and personalities creating a believable community set in the backdrop of Fethering, a British coastal village.For readers of British village mysteries, particularly if you like some sly humor thrown in the mix. less
