Bracketts, an Elizabethan house near the town of Fethering, is about to be turned into a museum. Once the home of celebrated poet Esmund Chadleigh, it has now been decided that it should become a shrine to his life and poetry. But the transition from house to museum is running far from smoothly. For a sudden discovery is made: Buried in the kitchen garden is a human skeleton. And before too long, there is a second body, not yet cold. Murder is no longer just a dreadful possibility, but a certainty. It is a case that will test the sleuthing powers of Board member Carole Seddon and her friend Jude as never before... Praise for Simon Brett and the Fethering Mysteries: `A good, juicy, very English murder mystery` DAILY MAIL `A crime novel in the traditional style, with delightful little touches of humour and vignettes of a small town and its bitchy inhabitants` SUNDAY TELEGRAPH

About the Author:

Simon Brett worked as a producer in radio and television before taking up writing full time. He is married with three grown-up children and lives in an Agatha Christie-style village on the South Downs. Simon co-writes the ITV1 series ROSEMARY & THYME, starring Felicity Kendall and Pam Ferris.

From AudioFile:

Simon Brett is unique in the audio world in that he can both write an engaging mystery AND narrate it in a convincing fashion. (Before becoming a full-time writer, Brett had a successful career in broadcasting.) In this adventure retired civil servant Carole Seddon struggles with the secrets of the Chadleigh family, whose Elizabethan home is about to become a museum honoring the literary efforts of a second-rate early-twentieth-century poet. Simon Brett captures the very souls of the characters and makes them vividly real for listeners. His only faulty portrayal is that of the American professor, whose accent is never quite right. Listeners will find the quirky characters interesting and even the meetings of the board of trustees for the museum a source of clues.
