About this listen

When the owner of Polly's Cake Shop announces her retirement, the Fethering residents start to worry about the loss of this popular amenity. Alarmed by rumours that the café might become a Starbucks, a group clubs together to form an action committee.

The plan is that Polly's should become a community venture managed and run by volunteers from the village. Roped in to help, Jude finds the committee meetings fraught with petty power struggles, clashing personalities and monstrous egos.

Matters take a turn for the worse when she and Carole come across a badly decomposed body on Fethering beach - and uncover a link to Polly's.

I’m really enjoying the Carole and Jude stories. They are so well written and the murders are quite entertaining. I don’t mind the writer being the reader as well EXCEPT please could he pronounce the word Police POLICE not plece. As this word is in the stories a lot he really should pronounce it correctly. You would think him being an English Chappy he would know better.
