Rate Regarding Books The Old Silent (Richard Jury #10)

The book has silently rested among other books waiting for me to read. I had forgotten the delectable characters of the Inspector Jury series, and the wonderful names of the English pubs. Inspector Jury witnesses a cold-blooded murder, but he cannot walk away from the crime without attempting to save the shooter from the gallows. The story jumps back and forth among the various scenes and characters. Martha Grimes brings a richness of language into the story as the reader journeys into the world

I had read this book before, so I knew that eventually, the diverse plot elements would come together. However, it still seems that Grimes gets carried away with showing off her mastery of British idiom and culture. And her endings always have to be inconclusive. It is striking that this volume is so much more complex than her previous book. Did she get a second wind? With all the annoyances, she's still heads above the majority of writers in the mystery genre.

I like the Richard Jury books but I have to be in the mood. They wander a LOT and the plot isn't thick. This one also has a lot of descriptions of settings, which I can usually appreciate...but I did find myself skimming some pages in this book for that reason. I have had a head cold so I'm wondering if my inability to follow the story was due to writing or my own fuzzy brain. Lol I found it hard to keep up with all the (new) characters and where everybody was and why they were there, so I kinda

So many names-some seem just thrown in for kicks and grins. Who are these people? Why should I care? Sorry, Miss Grimes this is not your best. And the yammering story line! Blah blah blah. If you read the Richard Jury series, this is definitely one to skip. 2 1/2 stars only because I like the main characters. And because I like the main characters, I will read the next one.

All the books have names of British inns. I've read many of them previously. But then, mysteries are so good for getting one through the drearies of the last of winter. Martha Grimes creates such great characters, and the usuals are all charming. Richard Jury, of Scotland Yard; his partner, Sargent Wiggins (a bit of a hypocondriac), his friend, the doesn't wish to be known as Earl, Melrose Plant and his totally obnoxious Aunt Agatha (an obnoxious nod to a famous mystery writer), and then the

As I read this book, I was reminded of a high school English teacher who always talked about "show, not tell" writing. This book was a great example of writing that showed the reader what was happening through well-written descriptions and dialogue, without just telling everything up front. This can be a very effective writing style, but you have to read carefully to catch everything that's going on. The point of view changes between characters frequently (even switching to dogs at one point),

Always worth reading, is Grimes. This one has a rather uncharacteristically active Melrose, which is nice, although I'm not sure I buy the relationship that develops. I could be surprised, and probably will.This was a nice tangled mystery, too, and of course, I could see where it might be headed, but the twist I didn't foresee. Of course, Jury didn't either, so I felt okay about that. It's a sad case of child abduction that ultimately is very sad indeed. Several children are harmed in the making
