Meet Carole Seddon, a straitlaced divorcee, and Jude, the fun-loving free spirit next door. Neighbours, frenemies — and now, an unbeatable sleuthing duo!
Welcome to Fethering. A sleepy little town where folk don’t take kindly to outsiders.
Sensible Carole Seddon fits in here like a dream. Ensconced in her orderly cottage, with her trusty Labrador, Gulliver, at her side. Nothing can spoil her quiet life by the sea.
Until the day Jude moves in next door. With her flowing skirts and breezy boho manners, Jude couldn’t be less Fethering if she tried. But Carole’s going to need a friend like Jude . . .
Next morning, Carole is out pacing the deserted beach, when she spots something terrible, bobbing in the tide. A dead body!
By the time the police turn up, the body has vanished — leaving Carole with egg on her face. Everyone says she’s losing her marbles.
Everyone, that is, except for Jude. Together, they vow to get to the bottom of the mystery.
But they’d better do it quick. The lady sleuths are already in much deeper water than they know . . .
**A CWA DIAMOND DAGGER AWARD WINNER!**
Fans of Agatha Christie, Robert Thorogood, M.C. Beaton, The Thursday Murder Club, Faith Martin, Janice Hallett and Peter Boland will be hooked from the very first page!
