The Old Silent
The Old Silent | Martha Grimes
4 posts | 5 read | 1 to read
In the tenth murderous case for Richard Jury, the New Scotland Yard superintendent witnesses a killing in a West Yorkshire inn called the Old Silent, while his highborn, amateur colleague, Melrose Plant wishes to he could perform one as he drives his impossible Aunt Agatha to the Old Swan in Harrogate. Caught up in a triple murder, Jury would go to any lengths to help Nell Healey, the lovely widow of one of the victims. But Nell Healey remains silent as the Yorkshire moors, quiet as the grave, while the scope of the mystery widens.

Sunny here while i read a snowy winter mystery set in Yorkshire. I love these Richard Jury mysteries even though there are tropes aplenty - usually a beautiful gentlewoman stoic & tragic, a feisty and friendless girl child, multiple women caving & telling all in the face of the good looks and quiet kindnesses of Richard Jury. But Grimes does settings so well and a ton of interesting side characters. Catnip for me!

Took some Litsy advice and cracked open a comfort read. Martha Grimes has been a favorite for years and I have been rediscovering her through Steve West‘s narrated audiobooks. The Old Silent isn‘t one of her best (a little too long and too many unresolved loose ends) but it got me through a rough couple of days.

Had to go to the Main library today for a training, so I picked up some backlist for a quick comfort read. For whatever reason, Martha Grimes's Richard Jury books are like popcorn to me, despite the high body count.

valeriegeary Looks like some good snuggles happening here. 😍 8y

Trying desperately to finish this tonight, but Chester begs to differ.

emtobiasz I went to post a picture of my beagle helping me read this book, only to find another beagle had beaten me to it! Hello beagle friends! 8y
