The Torso in the Town Hardcover - 2002 - 1st Edition

by Brett, Simon

  • Used
  • Hardcover

A dinner party at a Fedborough mansion with some stuffy, not very close friends is not exactly Jude's cup of tea. But the practically mummified torso of a woman found in the cellar is much more up Jude's alley. Once again, Jude and her reluctant neighbor Carole, find themselves embroiled in another puzzling whodunit.

"Few crime writers are as enchantingly gifted...as Simon Brett." (Sunday Times, London)

"A marvelous send-up of contemporary British society...the kind of writing that makes you want both to savor the prose slowly and to turn the page quickly." (Booklist, starred)

Description

Number three of twenty in Brett's Fethering series. (Fethering being a small coastal town in England.) In this one Jude and Carole solve a murder or two in nearby Fedborough.
