Grimes has a nice voice, with well-developed characters and an interesting story line that somehow goes astray. A man sits next to Richard Jury in The Old Wine Shades, a local wine bar, and proceeds to tell him a fantastical story about the disappearance of a mother, son and dog, with the father so upset he closets himself into a sanitarium. The rest of it is told by Harry Johnson, who sits down by Richard Jury in the tavern, The Old Wine Shades. Over three successive nights, Harry spins out this story of a good friend of his whose wife and son (and dog) disappeared one day when they were Surrey. No trace, no clue, no lead as to what happened. Martha Grimes, Author, John Lee, Read by, read by John bltadwin.run Audio $ (0p) ISBN
The Old Wine Shades was not up to Martha's normal speed. I got tired of the insane character, he just wasn't enough to carry the story. The side part concerning the kids was the best part. Dumbly, Jury nodded. The rest of it is told by Harry Johnson, a stranger who sits down next to Richard Jury as he’s drinking in a London pub called the Old Wine Shades. Over three successive nights Harry spins this complicated story about a good friend of his whose wife and son (and dog) disappeared one day as they were viewing property in Surrey. They’ve been missing for nine months-no trace, no clue, no lead as to what happened. This line, delivered with a droll inflection by reader John Lee, is the perfect opening for Martha Grimes's latest entry in her Inspector Jury series. Harry Johnson enters the Old Wine Shades pub and recounts to Jury the strange tale of a mother and son who disappeared nine months ago, along with their dog, Mungo.
