review 1: I'm a big fan of Brett's Charles Paris series (LOVE them), so I keep reading the Feathering books, though I don't find them as entertaining. I do like the way the author never wimps out and makes Carol a more sympathetic character. Even in this book, when she's a doting grandma, she's still sort of bitter, and resentful that her ex-husband also gets to hang out with the grandbaby. She's a bit more mellow, but still stiff, socially awkward Carol.I do long for another Charles Paris book! I listened to a delightful (recent, I think) audiobook with Bill Nighy playing Charles, and I'd pay good money for another.
review 2: Despite the Christmas festivities, the seemingly ill-matched team of Carole Seddon, an up-tight retired civil servant, and her neighbor, free-spi... morerited healer Jude are ready for action when a body is found in the ashes of a local shop run by Jude's acquaintance Lola Le Bonnier. Lola is a devoted young mother who, with her much older husband Ricky, is raising two small children; Ricky's step-daughter Polly and his mother, the famed actress Flora, are visiting for Christmas. As Carole and Jude together try to find the truth about the body, they meet other colorful characters, too, both locally, in the small seaside town where they live, and in London. less
