Death on the Downs - Softcover

It wasn`t the rain that upset Carole Seddon during her walk on the West Sussex Downs. It wasn`t the dilapidated barn in which she was forced to seek shelter. No, what upset her most was the human skeleton she discovered there.... So begins the second investigation for strait-laced Carole and her more laid-back neighbour Jude. This time their enquiries take them away from Fethering to the small download hamlet of Weldsham, where gossips quickly identify the corpse as Tamsin Lutteridge, a young woman who disappeared from the village months before.... `Simon Brett has got into his stride with his second book in the Fethering Mysteries series... His light touch produces an enjoyable mystery.` Susanna Yager, Sunday Telegraph `Welcome return for Brett`s lady sleuths.... As crime gets a harder edge, it`s refreshing to have an amiable light-hearted tale, which makes the most of wit and atmosphere. A gentle stroll down mystery lane.` Yorkshire Post `One of the exceptional detective-story writers around.` Daily Telegraph
