I gave this 4 stars simply because I love the Fethering series and it's characters. The story was good with a simple plot. Typical of Brett, the villain is usually a side character that is rarely seen and everything gets linked together by a slim coincidence. Carol is the more realistic character and has shown growth over the course of the series whereas Brett is just beginning to offer insight into Jude's mind and backstory. Despite her empathy, Jude tends to get on my nerves. Still I love this series and will continued reading it depsite it's faults. Pretty good read up until the last few pages. All the characters were well drawn and the plot moved along nicely enough. The idea of two women playing detective is somewhat implausible on its face, but is not that off-putting for a light mystery. Without spoiling the story, I'll just say that the murderer and motive, and the manner of its discovery were just a step beyond my suspension of disbelief.
Always a treat. I think there is one more title in this series, which will make me very sad!
