About this listen

When widow Mrs Pargeter has her morning coffee, her intention is to admire her beautiful garden in peace and quiet. Little does she expect one of the patio's paving slabs to crack in two, revealing a human skull with a neat hole in the middle of its forehead! Mrs Pargeter decides to investigate. And who better to assist than her late husband's 'business associates', private investigator Truffler Mason and chauffeur Gary?

The trio are soon certain that a murder has been committed and the body disposed of under some convenient building works. But who is the victim? And more importantly, who put the body under Mrs Pargeter's patio? Mrs Pargeter and her friends must find out the truth before suspicion turns towards the late Mr Pargeter, whose business dealings Mrs P remains - naturally! - in blissful ignorance of...

Long live Mrs P

A delightful listen. Of all the Simon Brett series, Mrs Pargeter is my favourite. She is now happily living in “Lionel’s Den”, a large house in Essex but a body is found under the patio. The police are reluctantly called but Mrs P and her old friends do a much better job. Nice to meet again Truffler Mason, Gary the driver and Hedgeclipper Harrison of Green’s Hotel as well as two new ones, Tina the Transformer and Fixin’ Nixon. There’s a subplot involving Kirsty, (Mrs P’s gardener and protege) and her missing father, a Reggae musician. All’s well in the end and the villains are exposed and arrested or discredited and the missing father is found. Great party for Kirsty at the end. Mrs Pargeter continues to eat hearty, rich delicious meals, drink rather a lot of expensive champagne and quaff plenty of excellent red wine. Long May she continue to do so.
