About this listen
The Hopwicke Country House Hotel, owned by Jude's glamorous friend Suzy Longthorne, is to host an event for the all-male society the Pillars of Sussex. On the night, Jude helps Suzy serve dinner, and in the early hours of the morning they watch with relief as the guests drag themselves to their beds.
The next morning, one young solicitor does not come down for breakfast. Jude heads for Nigel Ackford's room, presuming he is feeling the effects of the night before. It soon becomes apparent, however, that Nigel has been spared his hangover, for Jude finds him hanging from the beams of his four-poster bed. And she is convinced that this is not suicide....

Enjoyable
Another enjoyable story featuring the adventures of Carole & Jude. A mystery interspersed with a little humour; was it really suicide or did somebody commit murder in the hotel?

Another success!
Very enjoyable addition to the Jude and Carol books. They are both becoming more 3D characters with each book. I just love the interplay between them. Good story, just gripping enough without being too demanding for a night-time listen and plenty of tongue in cheek humour. Great!

Great cosy crime
Great cosy crime, extremely well narrated and believable characters.
My one criticism would be the author overused the term ‘women folk’. If it was used once it must have been used one hundred times and it became mildly annoying!! But not enough to ruin the story thankfully

Cosy murder mystery
I stumbled on these as I love the Charles Paris mysteries. It's great that they are a series and perfect as audio stories before bedtime or on a rainy afternoon. I particularly like that the characters are middle aged women and more rounded characters than the usual stereotypes. The stories are complete in themselves but added interest comes from additional revelations about the main protagonists' histories. Simon Brett conveys the characters so well in his reading.

Excellent
Excellent mystery and clever satire. The plot is quite complex, very believable and the truth is not revealed until the very end. I love how the characters of Jude and Carol develop and reveal ever more of their personalities.
