The Torso in the Town (Fethering Mysteries)

A dinner party at a Fedborough mansion with some stuffy, not very close friends is not exactly Jude's cup of tea. But the practically mummified torso of a woman found in the cellar is much more up Jude's alley. Once again, Jude and her reluctant neighbor Carole, find themselves embroiled in another puzzling whodunit.

"A marvelous send-up of contemporary British society...the kind of writing that makes you want both to savor the prose slowly and to turn the page quickly." (Booklist, starred)
