Reviews
Not a Richard Jury
4By GellisongA fabulous book about envy gone bad. An interesting, and well-done departure from her Richard Jury series(which I also love).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.
