Death and the Decorator

A Fethering Mystery, Book 21

Having decided to redecorate Woodside Cottage, Jude engages the services of local man Pete, who painted and decorated the homes of Fethering residents for many years. Pete is currently working on Footscrow House, a large Victorian building that is being converted into holiday flats by a local developer.

Having arranged to meet at Fiasco House, as it is known locally due to the many failed business enterprises over the years, Jude and Pete make a surprising discovery behind a wall panel: a woman's handbag! The casual discovery becomes serious when the police identify the handbag's owner as Anita Garner, a young woman who vanished under suspicious circumstances twenty years earlier.

Determined to find out what really happened to Anita all those years ago, Jude and her neighbor, Carole, investigate—and are plunged into a maze of deception and murder.

Brett is the Best

As always, Simon Brett weaves a story with many twists and turns which keeps the listener on his/ her toes. Highly recommend this read

Love Simon Brett’s narration!

Thank goodness the author narrates his own books. Love his characters and their voices and personalities. Perfect cozy mystery.

Another solid entry in a favorite series

If you've been following the Fethering series, you will want to read this one. If not, starting at the beginning would be a better way to understand the dynamic between Carole and Jude, which is central to the books.

Love the series, this particular but slightly less

I love this series. I didn’t like this particular book quite as much as usual although the dialogue in some areas is unbelievably funny. Narrator fantastic as always

Wonderful

Another wonderful mystery by Simon Brett. Light, entertaining and perfectly narrated. Can’t wait for the next one.
