Inspector Richard Jury mysteries #1
The quaint, many-hued cottages lining Long Piddleton's High Street were capped with new snow and glittering in the morning sunshine. Pretty enough to be a Christmas card, the hamlet was, instead, the scene of two singularly gruesome murders.
Martha Grimes's delightfully British novel of detection introduces Inspector Richard Jury, an affable, pragmatic investigator who has a winning way of ignoring protocol and playing his own canny game. Jury is dispatched to the quiet Northants village of Long Piddleton at Christmastime to help solve a spate of murders that have confounded the local constabulary.
