Robbie Parsons is one of London's finest, a black cab driver who knows the city by heart. In his backseat is a man with a gun in his hand - a man who brazenly committed a crime in front of the Artemis Club then jumped in and ordered Parsons to drive. As the criminal eventually escapes to Nairobi, Detective Superintendent Richard Jury comes across the case in the Saturday paper.

Two days previously, he had met and connected with one of the victims, a professor of astrophysics at Columbia and an expert gambler. Feeling personally affronted, Jury enlists Melrose Plant, Marshall Trueblood, and his whole gang of merry characters to contend with a case that involves Tanzanian gem mines, a closed Reno casino, and a pub that only London's black cabbies who have the knowledge can find.

With their signature wit, sly plotting, and gloriously offbeat characters, Martha Grimes's New York Times best-selling Richard Jury Mysteries are "utterly unlike anyone else's detective novels" (The Washington Post).

And oh how we've missed him. I've loved this series since the year One and The Knowledge is like a re-birth. The story is suprising and the interaction we love between Jury and Melrose Plant is at it's best. While Grimes builds the suspense, amazing in detail and gives us an atmospheric London, there are still moments of true hilarity. Wait for it... you won't believe whodunit!

(And a nod to Steve West for his great performance!)

Jury's Back....

Se ha producido un error. Vuelve a intentarlo dentro de unos minutos.

In this story we are introduced to the inimitable Patty Hay, Trueblood’s background as a child which makes him a great croupier, and a pub for cab drivers that cannot be found by anyone else called The Knowledge. The crime is so perplexing even the killer didn’t know he’d done it until later. Jury and Wiggins figure it out though, with the help of Wiggin’s new murder board. Melrose’s trip to Africa is intrinsic in the conclusion - but especially adds humor.

One on my favorite Richard Jury books

Grimes is always a good read. Such character development! And always an unusual plot. I await the next book.

Love the character development, quirky characters, and intrepid children that populate this Jury novel. Her characters are so wonderfully drawn, and multi-dimensional. It's such a pleasure to read an intelligent author whose characters aren't whiney!

Steve West does an excellent job with almost all (the many) voices.

She does kids, and Melrose Plant so well!!!

More of the same from Martha Grimes...suspense, artful and iimmensely readable... excellent! This story wanders around the world and yet still remains a riveting English mystery

I wait and wait for another Richard Jury book...

Over all really enjoy the author. Got lost a few times, a lot of characters. By the end though everything was clear. Really liked patty hay.

Fun read

I may be at fault myself, but I was a little lost in the story from time to time. Still I give the story high marks because I’ve never read/listened to a book anything like it, the kids and the cabbies are such refreshing characters. The reader did a good job, too. If you like stories with unexpected turns of events, you’ll like this book

A little confused at times

This is much more than an intriguing mystery. It is a very entertaining story with many attractive and beguiling characters. I think Martha really opened up the genre with this one. Highly recommended.

Possibly the best of the series

Female voices seemed whiny which became grating after awhile. Jury's is smooth & easy to hear.
