From Publishers Weekly
In Brett’s fourth chatty, genteel Fethering mystery (after 2002’s The
Torso in the Town), Carole Seddon finds herself a member of the Bracketts
Trust, which is responsible for the upkeep of Bracketts, former home
of West Sussex litterateur Esmond Chadleigh. Tension arises between
the Trust’s new director, Gina Locke, who represents the new world of
"management structures," and former trustee Sheila Cartwright, who’s
from the old school of local volunteers. While they wrangle over Bracketts’s
future, a skeleton turns up in the garden. Though it’s obviously been
there a long time, Sheila does her best to keep this disturbing find
quiet. When a female American academic shows up to research a new biography
of Chadleigh, she’s stonewalled by the Trust’s dawdling biographer-elect
and grandson of the author, Graham Chadleigh-Bewes. Clearly something
more than mere footnotes is being concealed. Eager to ferret out the
truth, the uptight Carole is unable to rely on her usual partner-in-detection,
the liberated Jude Nichols, since Jude is looking after a dying former
lover. At times, subtle character interaction, at which Brett excels,
threatens to take over the novel, but the mystery gathers steam after
another, fresher body appears. Even Jude and lover have a part to play
in its resolution, and Brett provides a shocking revelation or two at
the end to bring a proper ending to a proper story.
From AudioFile
The latest in Brett’s Fethering mysteries involves the discovery of
a skeleton buried ninety years ago and a murder that occurs during the
course of the novel. This quiet mystery features Carole Seddon and her
neighbor, Jude, who have combined on other occasions to solve crimes.
Geoffrey Howard’s rendering is satisfactory, with small, almost undetectable,
distinctions among the English characters’ voices. The voice of the
female American academic does not come across as authentic–at first
sounding like that of a New York taxi driver and subsequently wavering
between a more subtle New York accent and one that is indistinguishable
from those of the English characters. Overall however, Howard narrates
with clarity and pacing that suits the gentle nature of the writing.

From Booklist
The kitchen garden of a stately home in the Sussex village of Fethering
is the final resting place for two bodies: one buried there during World
War I and newly discovered; the other landing in the ground 90 years
later, the result of a single gunshot. Brett delivers a deft mixture
of history-mystery and contemporary thriller in this latest installment
in his Fethering series starring the prickly, fiftysomething amateur
sleuth, Carole Sedden, who is on site for the discovery of both bodies.
Carole has been asked to serve on the board of trustees for a stately
home once inhabited by one of the most famous Catholic poets of the
Great War. Brett, who sends up backstage backbiting in his Charles Paris
theatrical mysteries, applies the same caustic wit to the desperate
gamesmanship of board meetings and village politics. The appearance
of an American professor who wants to write a biography of the Catholic
poet throws the board into a satisfyingly snide uproar. The contemporary
murder is a feat of planning, a sort of mirror image of the locked-room
puzzle in which the killing takes place in the open air, with Sedden
walking right next to the victim. Another marvelous mix of social satire
and traditional cozy. Connie Fletcher
