“The Killing in the Cafe... is an old-fashioned, clever mystery that keeps the reader guessing all the way to the end. The quirkiness of the characters lends to the intrigue of it all and the who-done-it, eerie quality remains to the very surprising end. Relationships run awry, motivate the crime and provide a satisfying end that is ironic indeed! This is a stand-alone story but will make many readers want to read the other mystery novels in this series! Nicely plotted, Simon Brett!”

“This book is non-stop fun. I adore this book and hope for more in the series. It was a delight to read from cover to cover. True mystery fans will adore this book.”

“While obviously more Midsomer and less Luther, the stories do have a real crime mystery to solve and as a mirror on society delivers a credible case and an entertaining story”

“I enjoyed The Killing in the Cafe immensely. Jude and Carole make a good investigative team. Jude is more intuitive while Carole is more straightforward. Although their approaches differ, these two intelligent women complement each other”
