"Finally, I want to mention one of my old favourites, Simon Brett ( the writer, “not to be confused with Simon Brett, the wood engraver” ). As a crime writer, Simon Brett is definitely one who enjoys the ridiculousness of the genre, and when my kids were tiny, I would rely on both him and MC Beaton (who sadly died in 2019) to keep me laughing with their various detectives’ ludicrous escapades. 2020 saw a new book by Simon Brett in the Fethering mysteries series, which are set in a seaside village and feature a middle-aged sleuthing duo, Jude and Carole (with an e). One practises alternative medicine, the other is a prim ex-civil servant. I’ve read 20 of them, and the latest I enjoyed—published in November 2020, so very much eligible for my best crime fiction of 2020 list—was Guilt at the Garage. Part of our best books of 2020 series."
