Mrs Pargeter is a mature widow at peace with herself and her buxom proportions. But when a friend suggests a few days at a health farm, she is happy to go along for the ride - though probably not for the slimming. She has not been there for long before she uncovers evidence of a suspicious death.
Simon Brett worked as a producer in radio and television before taking up writing full time. As well as the much-loved Fethering series, the Mrs Pargeter novels and the Charles Paris detective series, he has written a number of radio and television scripts. Married with three children, he lives in an Agatha Christie-style village on the South Downs.
