Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. theft, law-enforcement, art-fraud, art-theft, murder-investigation, friendship Trimmed down, the mystery is good. However, there is so much extraneous rumination by both Plant and Jury as well as appearances by odd characters and more red herrings than a large tin of kippers that the reader wants to use a poker on them to get to the end. Which is outstanding, by the way. Top of the line Richard Jury novel, especially because of the laugh out loud humor of Melrose Plant's encounter with The Crippes family. Once again, Richard is in the wrong place at the right time. By following a woman off the bus, who later turns up murdered - he declares himself a witness. Only problem - the dead woman turns out NOT to be the woman that he followed, albeit extremely similar in looks. Once again, kids like Nancy Pink play an integral role in the story and in moving things along. The usual gang of Aunt Agatha, Marshall Trueblood, Diane DeMorney all have things to do while Melrose is assisting Jury. Long Piddleton is never dull. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

HTML: Saturday night. It was not a night to be spending alone, riding a bus. When he was a teenager at the comprehensive, Saturday night without a girl, without a date, without at least your mates to raise hell with, Saturday night alone would have been shameful. One wouldn't want to be seen alone on a Saturday night.... Who are you kidding? That was never your life, Jury, not yours. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

There is a return to Catchcoach Street, and the cast of characters there, along with Plant, are really enjoyable. Jury's usual angst and soul wrenching lines of thought are as boring as ever and I find his impossibly beautiful upstairs neighbor truly irritating. Try as I might, I can't find a reason for him to allow her to continue interfering in his life and handing him impenetrable phone messages.
I did love these books (30 or so years ago), and I'm going to continue on to the end trying to recapture my first joy in them, but first I need a break - a palate cleanser if you will - with some of the masters of cozy mysteries. ( )
