About the book
The genteel game of Real Tennis takes a murderous twist in Simon Brett's witty and entertaining new Fethering mystery.
Jude's life has been completely changed by her new boyfriend, Piers Targett, who is eager to introduce her to his passion - or rather, obsession - for Real Tennis. However, everything takes a sudden turn when one of Piers' acquaintances dies under suspicious circumstances on the tennis court, drawing Jude into a police inquiry. At the same time, Jude's neighbor Carole is on a mission to uncover the identity of the human remains known as the 'Lady in the Lake' in their community. As the two investigations begin to intertwine, Carole and Jude's quest for the truth seems to be leading them towards even more sinister events.
