Book description
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 been decided that it should now become a shrine to his
life and poetry. But the transition from house to museum is running far
from smoothly, and Carole soon begins to regret her decision to be on
the Board as she witnesses bitter antagonism and rivalry amongst the
other members. Then 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 . . .
Simon Brett worked as a producer in radio and television before
taking up writing full time. He is married with three grown-up
children and lives in an Agatha Christie-style village on the South
Downs. This is the fourth novel in the popular Fethering series.
