À propos de cet audio

 A sudden murder in an English village pub sets off the twenty-sixth novel in the bestselling series starring superintendent Richard Jury, from bestselling author Martha Grimes, still “one of the most fascinating mystery writers today” (Houston Chronicle).

One calm night in Twickenham, a businessman named Tom Treadnor is shot off his barstool at The Queen Pub. Superintendent Richard Jury is called in to investigate and quickly realizes that everyone in Treadnor’s life—from his widow, Alice, to the staff at his manor, to his business partner—had differing opinions of him. And to complicate things further, Jury has just happened upon a photo in a newspaper of a man in the United States, who is a dead ringer for Treadnor.

Meanwhile, Wiggins, Jury’s partner at New Scotland Yard, becomes sidetracked by an investigation of his own: His sister, missing for years and presumed dead, has just sent a postcard to their mother. When Wiggins takes off in search of his sister, the two investigations begin to converge.

Funny, eccentric, and fueled by Richard Jury’s talent for seeing clues in the most unlikely places, The Red Queen is a welcome return to a classic character and an exciting addition to a series that has been called “delightful, surprising, even magical” (The Washington Post).

This is the most disjointed string of scenes and charactors I've ever read. It contains all of Grimes usual cast of characters and brilliant moments of charactor and discription BUT its like someone gathered up all the scraps and bits off the editors floor and threw them togather to loosly resemble a story. I half expected the whole thing to be explained away as a dream sequence! Normally I love Martha Grimes' prose but if you told me that this title was actually written by AI to resemble her writing I'd beleave it. So to sum up if your looking for one of Grimes' beautifully crafted and told tales this isn't it. Take a pass and perhaps go back to reread some of your favorits!
