About this listen
Carole Seddon doesn’t care for the theatre. But her neighbour Jude counts the job of actress among her many and varied past careers. So when Jude attends the closing night of a new play based on a classic TV sitcom, Carole is interested – but only because she suspects the leading man, Drake Purslow, is one of her scandalous friend’s ex-lovers.
The night turns out to be more dramatic than either Carole or Jude could have ever predicted. After the performance, Jude makes her way to Drake’s dressing room, only to find him dead – in what, to Jude’s experienced sleuthing eye, seem very suspicious circumstances.
Did one of the play’s cast – made up almost entirely of the original sitcom’s actors – have a long-held grudge against the show’s star? Or are more recent hatreds to blame? Jude is determined to find out – and Carole is right there to investigate alongside her.

Good but not Great
Was pleased to have a new Feathering story to read as I love hearing about Jude and Carol's crime solving but I did get fretful for Gulliver a few times as Carol seemed to forget she had him! This story lacked the depth and warmth of the previous stories, there was something fundamentally missing from this tale and I missed that it wasn't set in Feathering and hardly mentioned Ted and his pub. I got the feeling, the author wrote it some years ago and then dismissed it as not being up to scratch at the time. It’s an OK listen but not the best Feathering story, however, it was read well, as always by the author himself, Simon Brett. Now hoping there's a new Mrs Pargeter in the offing.....

Brilliant as ever
I’ve missed these titles from the master of entertaining crime novels and radio plays. Such well drawn characters, like old friends . The plots are always great but it’s the characters both regular and incidental that keep me coming back . One of the few authors who narrates brilliantly. More of all your series please !

Narrator has a distracting sniff
So annoying I gave up before the end. Plot was thin and formulaic. Not up to his usual standard
