Meh. This one is okay. The mystery is pretty good but I find that I really don't like any of the characters, especially Carole, the main character. She doesn't just wear shoes, they are "sensible" shoes. Every. Single. Time. We get it Mr. Brett, we get it. Not sure If I'll continue with this series though I probably will. After a bit of a break.

This is okay, I was a bit bored with it, but the mystery was not bad and I didn't solve it before the author.

This is literally just a fun romp through semi rural England. I do like Brett's writing.
The more and more I know of Carole the more I like her. There are some slightly problematic things that make themselves known overall. Like classicism and mild racial stereotyping but such fun if you can peer past that.
Side note: I love the Carole was right from the very beginning!

The second in the Fethering series and sees Carole discovering a body during a walk on the Downs. She and Jude end up investigating, but the village is close Murder and full of people with rivalries and secrets they would rather stay under wraps. Enjoyable.

In this second of the series, the main characters are continuing to develop and the mystery is interesting, if rather contrived. I will continue to read the series. I like the author's style.

Fun way to pass the time but not very believable. Also a little dated and some Asian stereotypes.

I enjoyed this cozy mystery set on the South Downs of West Sussex. Second in Brett's "Fetherin" series.
