Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Something seems different about this....I've just read five books in the series. I love the author's style of writing, love the characters and can even solve the mysteries. :) However...the writing in this book doesn't flow as well compared to the previous books. I'm glad I read some of the reviews regarding violence. I'm not into gory descriptions that's why I liked the other books. Rating:  - Stabbing in the Stables...Jude and Carole are back as the amateur sleuths of Feathering, and this time they find themselves involved in deadly horseplay when Jude finds a body at Long Bamber Stables. The police figure it's the mysterious "Horse Ripper," someone who's been mutilating mares across the county, but Jude and Carol suspect the killer might be someone closer to home. Sonia Dalrymple's has hired Jude to heal her horse's bad knee. Jude's never tried to heal a horse before but she's willing to give it ... Read More Rating:  - Engrossing addition to the Feathering seriesSimon Brett is an accomplished writer and has several mystery series. The Feathering series features two middle-aged, but otherwise completely different, amateur detectives, Carole and Jude. Carole is a highly-controlled, reserved, retired former civil servant. Her neighbor and accomplice, Jude, is a free-wheeling, new-age "healer". Part of the humor and fun of this series is in the interactions between these two and watching the gradual "loosening" of Carole. (Egads, she is now drinking ... Read More Rating: - never disappoints"The Stabbing in the Stables," the latest of Simon Brett's forays into the lives of Jude and Carole in the fictional Sussex town of Fethering, is as fresh and clever as the first in the series. As others have mentioned, usually series begin to become tired (witness the once-great Agatha Raisin series) or parodies of themselves (e.g., the "Cat Who" mysteries). But Simon Brett seems immune to any of that. The sign of a truly great series is when you can't wait for the next one. That's certainly ... Read More Rating: - Compelling tale from a master!Simon Brett's expertise is exceptional. Yes, I know he's written a lot, but not every prolific author improves with successive books. Brett, however, is one who does. In this series, he takes a fairly unlikable character (Carole)and compels us to follow her no matter how unlikely we would if we knew her in real life. Cleverly, Brett adds a more likable character (Jude) but keeps much of her life hidden. Add a compelling tale and you've got a great read! Eleanor Sullivan, author of Assumed Dead |
