Product Description
They were two young women, strikingly similar in life…strikingly similar in death. Both strangled with their own scarvesone in Devon, one outside of a fashionable Mayfair pub called I Am the Only Running Footman. Richard Jury teams up with Devon’s irascible local divisional commander, Brian Macalvie, to solve the murders. With nothing to tie the women together but the fatal scarves, Jury pursues his only suspect…and a trail of tragedy that just might lead to yet another victim. And her killer…
Reviews:
Jeremy (USA: OR) (2010/01/03): I have very much enjoyed the five or six Martha Grimes books I've read, but this one I found a bit too dry for my taste. Very little crime-solving with a lot of hoity-toity British snobbery. Not nearly enough Melrose Plant and only a few pages devoted to Jury's always-entertaining housemates, Carole-Anne Nouveau and Mrs. Wasserman.
To be fair, maybe I was just too distracted to enjoy it, I read it mostly on flights to and from California.
