Today‘s book mail features installments in two of my favorite mystery series, the first book in a new-to-me series and fairy tales because why not?!? I started reading the Richard Jury series in the 80s when I was a teenager. I haven‘t kept up in the past few years but I‘m ready to dive back in for a reread. Also love Victoria Thompson‘s series which is likewise due for a reread. As for the other two, I‘m looking forward to some good reading!
pickGosh I love Martha Grimes novels! Reading about Richard Jury and friends is like being wrapped up in a cozy blanket with a mug of tea and a large collection of quirky friends keeping you company.

And so we come to the end of advent, and I can‘t think of a better series to recommend than the Richard Jury mysteries. Grimes has other series, but this one has everything: a melancholy, orphaned detective, his withering, hypochondriacal sergeant, a beautiful, upstairs neighbor, plus a zany, madcap group of friends living in “Northants” who often help Jury in oddball ways. There are elements of fantasy, ⬇️
pickI love this series with Scotland Yard detective Richard Jury and the his eccentric cohorts. Great dialogue and a crazy murder mystery combine to make a satisfying story.

pickMartha Grimes‘ Richard Jury returns in a new mystery that is every bit as clever and suspenseful as her earlier books. The plot is intriguing and features the usual cast of characters Grimes fans have come to know and love, as well as a set of streetwise, worldly children that could have come straight out of a Dickens novel. If you haven‘t read Grimes before, don‘t start here. Go back to her first, The Man With A Load of Mischief and enjoy!
Spending the first day of 2018 with my favorite detective, Richard Jury.
