Summary"Grimes is not the next Dorothy Sayers, not the next
Agatha Christie. She is better than both."—The Atlanta
Journal-Constitution
Bad tidings come to Scotland Yard's Richard Jury and
sidekick Melrose Plant...
The woman in the snow-covered graveyard was beautiful
and sensual—just what Richard Jury needed to warm up
a
dreary Newcastle Christmas. But the next time Jury saw
her,
she was dead. Melrose Plant didn't fare much better.
Snowbound at a stately mansion with a group of artists,
critics, and idle-but-titled rich, he, too, encountered a
lovely lady—by stumbling over her corpse. A remote
country inn was all that connected the two yuletide
murders—and was where holiday cheer turned to fear...
"She is working in the great tradition...Good news
for
addicts—crime with style." —Mary Cantwell,
