Description
The bestselling author of the Richard Jury novels delivers a razor-sharp and raucously funny send-up of the cutthroat world of publishing. And the praise is pouring in:
"A hilarious and wicked caper-adventure on the evils of the book business."
—Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"Does laughing uncontrollably on a subway train constitute legitimate literary criticism? If it does, then Foul Matter...gets a great review from me." —New York Times Book Review
"She can kick literary butt—in more ways than one." —USA Today
Reviews
Foul Matter
1By theresaSFI normally love Martha Grimes' books but this one was tedious beyond belief. Don't bother.An unexpected delight!
5By Arizona_BoundI got this book thinking it was a Richard Jury novel (it had showed up in a search); it is not...But it is a great read! Karl, Candy, Ned and Clive along with the rest are such great characters. An interesting peek into the publishing world, also.
