description: The Hopwicke Country House Hotel, owned by Jude`s glamorous friend Suzy Longthorne, is to host an event for the all-male society, The Pillars of Sussex. On the night, Jude helps Suzy serve dinner, and in the early hours of the morning they watch with relief as the guests drag themselves to their beds. The next morning, one young solicitor does not come down for breakfast. Jude heads for Nigel Ackford’s room, presuming he is feeling the effects of the night before. It soon becomes apparent, however, that Nigel has been spared his hangover. For Jude finds him hanging from the beams of his four-poster bed... Convinced it was not suicide, Carole and Jude must now find out the truth behind an elaborate attempt to cover up a simple, cold-blooded murder... ‘Simon Brett is one of British crime`s most assured craftsmen’ GUARDIAN `Deftly contrived, light-hearted mysteries’ THE TIMES `A new Simon Brett is an event for mystery fans` P.
