( ) I have been a Richard Jury fan for years and had just about given up on Martha Grimes ever writing another Jury novel. I was thrilled to learn about Vertigo 42 and snapped it up quickly. All the elements I've enjoyed in Grimes' series are here, from Jury's laid back but ever-so-serious policing style, to the antics of Melrose Plant and his Jack-in-the-Hammer friends. The story was well-plotted and kept me in suspense, and I was very happy to see some old friends like Ash and White Ellie make cameo appearances. My only issue was that the ending that came far too fast - I wanted the story to continue! One suspicious death 22 years ago, another 17 years ago, and two murders five days apart. And then there's the dog. But Wiggins and Jury would never have solved the mess if it weren't for Alfred Hitchcock. The publisher's blurb gives clues but can't help untangle the mess. Be prepared for awful puns.
Longtime fans will find this tale fully worthy of Jury and his regulars. The plot lines eventually connect to a complex conundrum involving friendship, love, and betrayal. Readers who persevere past Jury’s confusing initial stay at the madcap Plant manse will be rewarded with an involving puzzle—right up to the frustratingly farfetched finale.

"At Vertigo 42, a bar high above London's financial district, Richard Jury meets Tom Williamson - a friend of a friend who is convinced his wife, Tess, was murdered 17 years ago. Tess's death was ruled accidental - a fall caused by vertigo - but Jury agrees to re-examine the case. A young girl's fatal fall at a children's party 22 years ago at Tom and Tess's home may be connected. After an elegantly dressed woman falls from a tower near a pub that Jury and his cronies frequent, and her estranged husband is later found dead, Jury begins to suspect that the now grown "children" from Tess's ill-fated party are the key to solving these interwoven mysteries"-- Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
