Synopsis

Having been booked to give a talk at Fethering Library, successful author Burton St Clair invites his old friend Jude to come along. Although they haven't met for 20 years, Jude is not surprised to find that St Clair hasn't changed, with his towering ego and somewhat shaky relationship with the truth. What Jude hadn't been suspecting however was that the evening would end in sudden, violent death. More worrying, from Jude's point of view, is the fact that the investigating police officers seem to be convinced that she herself was responsible for the crime. With the evidence stacking up against her, Jude enlists the help of her neighbour Carole.

I liked this book and thought the characters were enjoyable but didn't see anywhere this was the 18th in a series. With that being said, I felt like I missed some of the backstory. While I thought the characters were enjoyable they still seemed a little underdeveloped. The book had nice humor and wa......more

It shows that no matter how many crime books you read you can always find a new author. It happened in my case as it turns out this is book 18 of the series! It doesn't matter though as this book can easily be read as a stand alone story.  It's a simple cosy murder story, not too taxing on the brain......more
