Bracketts, an Elizabethan house near the town of Fethering, is about to be turned into a museum. Once the home of celebrated poet Esmund Chadleigh, it has now been decided that it should become a shrine to his life and poetry. But the transition from house to museum is running far from smoothly. For a sudden discovery is made: Buried in the kitchen garden is a human skeleton. And before too long, there is a second body, not yet cold. Murder is no longer just a dreadful possibility, but a certainty. It is a case that will test the sleuthing powers of Board member Carole Seddon and her friend Jude as never before ...Praise for Simon Brett and the "Fethering Mysteries": 'A good, juicy, very English murder mystery.' - "Daily Mail". 'A crime novel in the traditional style, with delightful little touches of humour and vignettes of a small town and its bitchy inhabitants.' - "Sunday Telegraph".

Simon Brett writes and reads a first class mystery,
By drkhimxz (Freehold, NJ, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Murder in the Museum (Audio CD)
Simon Brett has been in the top tier of mystery series writers for many years now. In this entry in the series featuring two middle aged British women of most unlike personalities who make up one of the more interesting amateur sleuthing duos to be found in current media, he gives us an example of how an audio-book should be written and read so as to achieve maximum effect. The Amazon review adequately summarizes the action. I would only add that the characters are real, the portrayals mordant or affectionate in accord with the roles they play, the wit well displayed and the sentiment honest, not cloying. All in all, it is Brett in excellent form in a work I can commend to all.
