Book Reviews of The Old Silent (Richard Jury Mystery)
Book Review: Follow the sheep...
Summary: 5 Stars
Perhaps one of my favorite scenes in ALL the Richard Jury Mysteries takes place in this book, The Old Silent. But it doesn't involve Jury. It involves ex-earl Melrose Plant, who is anything but comfortable around children, saving the life of a girl he has dubbed "The Fury". Abigail is certainly furious, and once again Martha Grimes has spun an excellent mystery around a child who is alone and who is thriving in a world full of unfairness and tragedy. You will love "the sheep scene". Actually, there are two of them. And Melrose this time saves the day. On a side note, as you read this book, pay attention to the aspect of SOUND. Grimes plays off LOUD MUSIC, Rock Music, WHISTLES that cut through the night, Melrose KEEPING SILENT with his awful aunt Agatha, a lost child keeping silent through the years, a murderess keeping silent with a truth she had long known. The theme of sound and silence are woven masterfully through this tale, which takes place in the wintertime upon the frozen moors in England. Can you hear the winter winds blow?
Summary of The Old Silent (Richard Jury Mystery)
Feeling burned out, Jury takes an unplanned stopover in Yorkshire and books a room at a cozy inn called the Old Silent. Violence finds him anyway when he becomes the only witness to a murder. Though Nell Healey shot her husband in cold blood, Jury will go to any lengths to help her, including taking sick leave from Scotland Yard to investigate. Calling on his old friend Melrose Plant for help, he must break through Nell?s reticence to untangle a web of twisted motives?and twisted lives....
