Eigentlich will ich die ganze Reihe lesen, aber das wird mir immer schwieriger gemacht. Die ersten 300 Seiten wird die Tat und die Personen und Umstände darum immer und immer wieder durchgekaut von verschiedenen Personen. Danach beginnt ein Prozess vor Gericht und wieder wird alles durchgekaut. Me...
Nach langem Hin und Her habe ich nun auch den ersten Band der Inspektor Jury Reihe gelesen von Martha Grimes. Ein typischer englischer Krimi soll es sein und es stimmt, es spielt alles in England und im ersten Band geht um Morde, die in Pubs passiert sind. Alles recht moderat, etwas brutal, aber nic...
This is the first Martha Grimes novel I've read and it's number 23 in the Richard Jury series. I almost never read a series out of order but I had, of course, heard of this series so when this came up on NetGalley, I requested it. I'm so glad I did. I loved this book. Since I haven't read the ot...
Alsi, ich habe ja schon einige der Inspektor Jury Reihe gelesen, aber mit keinem fiel es mir so schwer, wie mit diesem. Es könnte so spannend sein. Drei Frauen sterben an unterschiedlichen Orten in England. Besteht ein Zusammenhang? Sie haben eine Gemeinsamkeit. Eine der Frauen ist Amerikanerin au...
Note: Although this is Book 15 in the series, it works fine as a stand alone.The book opens on a cold night with an assassin in waiting. She has a been of a clean up to do as someone saw something they weren’t suppose to while she was on a job. From this brief prologue, we jump into Richard Jury’s l...
There was lots of English food in this book and I almost suspect that Martha Grimes wrote this mystery to showcase that food. Such as Toad in the Hole, Bangkok Duck, and the Fool dessert. Yes, this book made me curious about English cuisine and now I feel the need to try my hand at making some of th...
Kryminały, które ostatnio czytam, charakteryzuje wyeksponowanie prywatnego życia osoby prowadzącej śledztwo oraz zarysowanie tła obyczajowego. Martha Grimes książką „Hotel Belle Rouen” także wkomponowuje się w powyższą zależność. Tytułowy hotel, a właściwie zgliszcza, które po nim pozostały, kryje w...
This book is just the second half of Belle Ruin. The two should be combined. It's actually the fourth of the Emma Graham stories, but Hotel Paradise and Cold Flat Junction stand on their own. The last two only stand together. By some quirk, my spouse picked up Hotel Paradise some 15 or so years ago ...
This is the third of Grimes' Emma Graham books. Emma is the 12-year old I first met many years ago in Hotel Paradise, one of my favorite books ever. Basically, Belle Ruin is the first half of a longer novel which includes Fadeaway Girl (my take, Grimes might not agree). The first two books in the se...
Received this book from Net GalleyFirst of all, it was kind of cool to read a book that referenced a place I used to work. I am, however, afraid that might have been my favorite part of this entire book. I love reading memoirs, especially those dealing with addictions. Double, Double had great po...
