The Lamora Wink

Somehow in my methodical plodding through Martha Grimes Richard Jury series I missed The Lamorna Wink and I'm glad that I found it now. This book finds Melrose Plant, Jury's usual sidekick rambling about Cornwall on his own. He enlists the help of Detective Macalvie to help him solve a disappearance and a four year old murder. Of course Jury shows up toward the end just in time to solve the murder and disappearance and steal all of the thunder from Plant. It was fun to read more about Plant and the what makes him tick. We also get a update on the Long Piddleton group and Plant's Aunt Agatha. The mystery solved we even see a more compassion side of Macalvie and the novel leaves you wishing you could make a visit to Northants.
