About this listen

When Jude pays a visit to Long Bamber Stables - to meet an unusual new client and his owner, Sonia Dalrymple - she does not expect to stumble across a man laying in the darkness.

Co-owner of the stables Walter Fleet has been viciously stabbed to death, and Jude suspects she may have arrived only seconds after his murder. Unable to resist a mystery, friends Jude and Carole begin to make discreet enquiries.

It soon becomes clear that Long Bamber Stables is a hotbed of dangerous passions, murderous rivalries and sinister secrets...and this horsing community will do anything to conceal the truth behind their deceptive lives.

As always, I really enjoyed both the story and reading. I particularly enjoy the relationship between Jude and Carole and the gentle unfolding detail about their backgrounds. Beware though, this story has some fairly heavy themes running throughout. It is more hard hitting than some 'cosy-style' detective novels but still enjoyable for all that.. I just hope that Mr Brett doesn't feel obliged to join the more harrowing style of modern crime fiction, as this is really enough for me to drift off to sleep on!

Bit more meaty........
