Product Description
What`s your poison?
Fethering residents, Jude and Carole, get more than they bargained for when a lunchtime meal in their local pub leaves everyone with food poisoning. The landlord is horrified and when a series of disasters start to befall his business it looks like it could be the end of the road for the Crown and Anchor.
Left with a bad taste in their mouths – and not just from the food – the two amateur detectives wonder if it might just be more than a run of bad luck, which is forcing their favourite pub into bankruptcy.
When Ray, a young man with the mental age of a five year old, is found in the kitchen of the pub with a knife through his heart – Carole and Jude swing into action. There’s a killer on the loose in Fethering and our lady sleuths need to uncover who it is before it’s last orders for the pub – and themselves.

Poisoning in the Pub by Simon Bret, Feb 14 2010
By Richard J. Sloan "rjsloan10" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Poisoning in the Pub (Hardcover)
I've become hooked on this series, which I like far better than the author's several others. This latest is excellent, except I think it is rushed at the end.

Nothing new in this book, May 19 2010
By Linda Schmitz - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Poisoning In The Pub (Paperback)
I would have to say that this is not one of Simon Brett's better books on his Fethering Mystery stories. His earlier books are much better if you have never read any of his stories. After ready most of his books, this story is just a rehash of all of his other Fethering Mystery books. I found myself skimming the pages so I could finish quicker. Even the characters have lost their charm for me.

The darkest in the series, Feb 25 2010
By slim2none - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Poisoning in the Pub (Hardcover)
I've read the entire Fethering Series and think Mr. Brett is an excellent author, however, this installment was very dark. I gave it 150 pages and then had to put it down. It was depressing. The murder of a mentally challenged man was too much. There was a lot of repeating throughout which made it dull. No humor.
Listmania!
