A fun, funny yet dark classic whodunit from Martha Grimes. I love her detective Richard Jury's sense of humor and personality, and ex-Lord Melrose Plant complements him well! The story has a fantastic cast of bizarre, vibrant characters, which makes it even more entertaining. A great choice for someone looking for a solid classic murder mystery.
