The Stabbing in the Stables

A Fethering Mystery

By: Simon Brett

Narrated by: Ralph Cosham

Fethering's favorite sleuths are at it again. Jude and Carole Seddon find themselves in the midst of some horseplay after stumbling upon the body of ex-equestrian Walter Fleet at Long Bamber Stables. The police attribute the stabbing death to the mysterious "Horse Ripper", who's been mutilating mares across West Sussex and who Walter obviously caught in the act.

But considering Walter's reputation out of the saddle, Jude and Carole find that there are plenty of murder suspects, including Walter's put-upon wife and more than a few jealous husbands who wanted Walter put out to pasture.

Critic reviews

"Simon Brett is one of the wittiest mystery writers around." ( Baltimore Sun)
"Like a little malice in your mysteries? Simon Brett is happy to oblige." ( New York Times)

Wonderful continuation of series.

Another Simon Brett treat. I very much enjoy the whole Feathering series and the reader is by far the best!

Best in the series so far!

Good and most complex plot in the series thus far. New and interesting characters, and characters overall are much more well developed. Narration good as always for this series.

One of my favorite

This is a wonderful series that gets better with each book. The narrator is excellent. I’m very disappointed in Audible, there are so many books in the series that are unavailable in the US. It’s ridiculous. I’m willing to get paperback versions to continue, but I wish they’d figure out how to have the complete series accessible.

Entertaining Detective Pair

My wife and I Listen to this on a long drive, kept us engaged and we were ready to complete book on our return drive. This title was chosen as there were horses involved in the story. Satisfying that a majority of characters had a quick comment as to their life past the stories end. Will for more from this author.
