From Publishers Weekly "In Inspector Richard Jury s 10th appearance， the rewards of Grimes s skewering eye for characterization more than make up for the few occasions when the complicated plot gets out of hand." Jury， perversely winter-vacationing in Yorkshire， witnesses a murder. PW called this "another tour de force for Grimes." Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information， Inc. From AudioFile Set in West Yorkshire and Cornwall， this story challenges Martha Grimes s major character， Superintendent Richard Jury， to find out the real reason that a perfectly sane and patient wife should murder her husband ten years after their only child has been kidnapped and presumably killed. The abridgment， written by Jill Ellyn Riley， provides a smooth narrative flow without any obvious gaps or lapses and with more than a few touches of characterization and byplay not always found in abridgments. Tim Curry s narration is consistent and expressive: he handles character voicing well but has some trouble with Yorkshire and Baltimore accents. T.T.B.
