The Old Fox Deceiv'd by Martha Grimes. Mystery.
Originally written in 1982, this is a good introduction to Martha Grimes's Richard Jury mysteries.Originally posted here.
I must confess that while Martha Grimes is a familiar name to me in the mystery genre, I'd never read any of her books until now.
This story is filled with the atmosphere of British mysteries, and features a mystery within a mystery--not only whodunit, but who-was-it-done-to.
A clever mystery with an engaging cast of characters, The Old Fox Deceiv'd has ensured that the next time I'm in the mood for a British mystery, Martha Grimes will be on my list of authors to look for.
