I am searching for a new author to read, so I picked up this Martha Grimes - therefore it is my first Richard Jury novel. I found it very difficult to follow all of the different characters and keep them straight. I also thought it took until about page 186 to get to the whole story - ugh, it was a bit frustrating. This is not a book I would recommend to people. I am wondering if I need to start at the beginning of the Richard Jury novels to enjoy her writing...
