It is a chill and foggy 12th Night, wild with North Sea wind, when a bizarre murder disturbs the outward peace of Rackmoor, a tiny Yorkshire fishing village with a past that proves a tangled maze of unrequited loves, unrevenged wrongs, and even undiscovered murders.

Inspector Jury finds no easy answers in his investigation - not even the identity of the victim, a beautiful young woman. Was she Gemma Temple, an impostor? Or was she really Dillys March, Colonel Titus Crael’s long-lost ward, returning after eight years to the Colonel’s country seat and to a share of his fortune? And who was her murderer?

I enjoyed this one even more than the first. I just love Jury and Plant and how they are together. So many fun and interesting characters. I liked the storyline of this one and it kept me guessing to the end.
Again, Steve West and his fabulous narration really made this book even better. Truly amazed by his talent and all of this different voices he did for each character.
Aside from me really enjoying the series so far, I highly recommended this series based on his performances alone. In this one my favorites were Percy Blythe, Les Aird (no idea now to spell that one) and Agatha, though she's not in this one as much.

Another entertaining Richard Jury Mystery!

Where does The Old Fox Deceiv'd rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Top 5

Who was your favorite character and why?

Richard Jury and Melrose Plant. They are strong men with different personalities formed out of different upbringings yet they develop an intuitive relationship as the books move through the series. While the books can be stand alone, reading them in sequence lets you see this respect grow; you also meet the other characters with all their eccentricities as they move in and out of the books. They are a treat and how Jury and Plant interact with them is great fun.

Have you listened to any of Steve West’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

So far, this is my 3rd book I'm "rereading" with narration by Steve West. The Audible narration is a true delight. I read all the Martha Grimes Richard Jury books years ago, up to her latest. Her earlier ones are her best as one follows the eccentric characters through several books.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

These are murder mysteries after all so the subject is not humorous. However, there are lots of chuckles especially with Mr. West's narration catching the sarcasm and off kilter humor of the characters. He conveys the dry humor and quirkiness in these books so well yet the seriousness of the murder(s) comes across strongly in his narration.

Any additional comments?

Mr. West has an impressive range for the various voices, so much so at times I almost think more than one person is speaking the various voices. He doesn't use extremes for a female voice or a child's voice yet he captures these very well.

Second reading through narration a real pleasure

Enjoyed the story as usual!
However could very much do without the hard rock sound bite at start and finish. Hope Simon & Shuster are listening….

Another day intriguing Martha Grimes

As usual, Martha Grimes tells another story about the ‘usuals’ we have come to see as the last support for the most recent murder in Long Pidleton

NEVERTHELESS

An intriguing plot, an eerie setting and layered characters provide good escapism. It may not be Martha Grimes’ best, but the reader has plenty of suspects and heroes to choose among.

Entertaining Diversion
