I adore Jury and Plant. Laughs, great frienship, smart guys, intelligent kids, sneaky adults, and smitten women. I confess the mystery itself is secondary to me, because I love the Jury/Plant relationship so very much.
What's not to love.

pickI unabashedly love the Richard Jury series. This installment was sadder to me than the first two were, but that only made it a bit different, not less enjoyable. Aunt Agatha featured more in the first two books, and of course that results in wittily amusing exchanges. The friendship between Jury and Melrose Plant makes me smile; it gives both characters an opportunity to reveal themselves and be less alone. ⬇️
When in doubt, an attack of the book-doubts that is, I can always rely on Martha Grimes to make me smile.
pick3rd Richard Jury novel is - like the previous - named after a pub. This time we also have a murdered lady, a young lady in a coma, some anonymous letters and a missing emerald necklace. Now-Superintendent Jury plods his way through the mysteries, assisted by the ever-suffering Wggins and the interested Melrose Plant. Just as enjoyable as the others!
pickThis is the second Martha Grimes book I've read, and I'm really enjoying them. She writes cozy mysteries in the vein of an Agatha Christie or a Josephine Tey-- sharp police detective with his aristocratic sidekick solving murders.
