About this listen

Amateur sleuths Jude and Carole take on their third case when a terrible discovery is made in the cellar of a grand old house. Grant and Kim Roxby had hoped that their first dinner party at Pelling House would make an impression with their new neighbours. And the next day it's certainly the talk of the town.

For their guests - including the couple's old friend Jude - had been enjoying a pleasant meal before they were rudely interrupted by a gruesome discovery. A human torso hidden in the cellar. Jude races home to Fethering and her friend Carole with the news. And soon the pair are back in Fedborough, questioning the locals.

This was a good solid mystery, I binged this over two days. I like Simon's writing style and performance as the narrator. I still want to know more about Jude, it's actually starting to irritate me. I think I have an idea of her background but need to find out if I'm right? She comes off as a bit of a grifter or maybe a con woman who retired, or just an ex hippie? just about to buy the next book!
