sarahr 's review for:

The Old Success by Martha Grimes
3.5
mysterious medium-paced
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Admittedly I read this in January and am writing this up in September, so my memories are faint...but as I remember, I was disappointed with this one.  It seemed more a sketchy outline for a Jury mystery.  Ah well, even mediocre Grimes is better than no Grimes at all, I suppose.
