Love Jury and Melrose's friendship, and Jury is such a sweetheart, odd for detectives. He's sweet and kind.

While earlier in the series than the last one I read, this is one of the bloodier installments in the Richard Jury series. It also feels just quintessentially 80s, with all of the smoking, drinking, cringeworthy lack of political correctness, and references to Sassoon that entails.
A rather bloodier mystery for Jury's 4th outing, this time to Stratford-upon-Avon. Melrose Plant again pitches in, at least partially to avoid Agatha's visiting family. Strong transatlantic flavour, slightly ridiculous plan by the baddie, and a melancholic ending. Not my favourite of these.
