The Man With a Load of Mischief
by Martha Grimes
It's hard to believe I've never read a Richard Jury mystery. But, this is my first, but won't be my last. I loved it.
This the first book in the series. Jury is with Scotland Yard. He gets called into a small village after two murders have been committed. Jury makes friends with Melrose Plant, who is a big help in the investigation. I presume Plant will work with Jury again someday.
Grimes sets up a great, keeps you guessing, who done it. The author has a great sense of humor as well. I loved the banter between Plant. and his Aunt Agatha.
Martha Grimes is American, but writes British mysteries right up there with the heavy hitters.
A+
