This is one of my favorite series by this author. This actually introduced me to a form of tennis that I had no idea even existed. A fun read.

I enjoy Simon Brett's Books and find them an easy and relaxing read inbetween other books. I have read most of the previous books in this series. Like other reviewers have said there is an element of 2 for 1 about this as both carole and Jude have their own situation to solve. We do see more of the character of Jude, but it somehow lacks the same feeling as the other ones which I have read, the way they bounce off each other seems to add more fun. It was still agood read.

In my quest for the ultimate cozy, I selected this Simon Brett because I love the game of tennis. Id never heard of real tennis, so that was entertaining. And Jude and Carole were interesting and distinct enough to make me want to read one of the earlier mysteries. Definitely a quick read with a sort of jaunty tone, but not without a bit of depth.

The Corpse on the Court is number 14 in the Fethering series by Simon Brett. This mystery series is also known for its incisive social commentary and is always fun to read. In this installment Jude and Carole are having somewhat of a separation, as Jude enters a new romance and Carole is left behind in Fethering. Still they manage to come together to solve a mystery or two. The main case involves Real Tennis (Court Tennis) and a death involving a group of people who have all known each other for many years and whose lives seemingly revolve around this “sport of kings”. A well written fun mystery with two great sleuth characters in Jude and Carole.

Fun, engaging cosy-type detective fiction, with two mysteries running in tandem. Three stars, though, because (without spoilers) one of them isn't resolved in the manner you'd expect from the genre, and while I do appreciate a mystery where the detectives are a pair of affectionate but sniping friends, it's very clear the author doesn't really get female friendship.
