annarella 's review for:

The Old Success by Martha Grimes
4.0

I think I read most of the book in the Richard Jury series and was more than happy to read a new one.
It was great to meet again the cast of characters, as quirky and well thought as usual, and to be entertained by a well written and engrossing plot.
The mystery is solid, it kept me guessing and it's full of twists and turns.
Even if there's some backstory I think it's better to read the previous installment before this one.
A very pleasant read as usual, highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine.
