About

The Hopwicke Country House Hotel once boasted a clientele of the rich and famous. But hard times call for hard measures, so owner Suzy Longthorne throws open her doors to welcome the Pillars of Sussex, an elitist group of local businessmen whose social gatherings revolve around drinking and off-color commentary. She hires Jude to help keep the spirits flowing. But when one of the initiates turns up dead, it's up to Jude to uncover a truth no one wants discovered.

Reviews

"The 'odd couple' is a staple of the classic whodunit, and Simon Brett gives it a sweet twist."
New York Times
"[Carole and Jude] give Brett the comic tools he needs to poke wicked fun at British politics, aging pop stars, reality TV, Rotarians, celebrity chefs, the legal profession and the social mores of modern England."
National Post (Canada)
"Holmes and Watson with a dash of Laurel and Hardy."
Toronto Star
