About this listen

The Elizabethan house of Bracketts is about to be turned into a museum. It had once been the home of the celebrated poet Esmund Chadleigh and is to become a shrine to his life and poetry - but the transition is far from smooth. Carole Seddon had been reluctant to join the Bracketts Board, and now she realises that she should have listened to her instinct. The simmering tension between the board members is about to boil over. A human skeleton is discovered in the kitchen garden, and before too long there is a second body, not yet cold. Murder is no longer just a dreadful possibility but a certainty.

A bit slow to start and lacking in excitement. I prefer the stories that centre on the relationship between Jude and Carol which this book didn't really. However, the story picked up as the book progressed and the ending was both intriguing and satisfactory.

Interesting

I stumbled on these as I love the Charles Paris mysteries. It's great that they are a series and perfect as audio stories before bedtime or on a rainy afternoon. I particularly like that the characters are middle aged women and more rounded characters than the usual stereotypes. The stories are complete in themselves but added interest comes from additional revelations about the main protagonists' histories. Simon Brett conveys the characters so well in his reading.

These characters are interesting and annoying at the same time, I frequently want to slap Carol, but she reminds me of so many people I’ve known.
Easy listening, glad there’s more to ‘read’
