About this title

About the Author:

Martha Grimes is the author of twenty novels, eighteen of them Richard Jury mysteries. She lives in Washington DC and Santa Fe.

From the Inside Flap:

stmas couldn't make Newcastle any less dreary for Scotland Yard's Superintendent Richard Jury--until he met a beautiful woman in a snow-covered graveyard.  Sensual, warm, and a bit mysterious, she could have put some life into his sagging holiday spirit.  But the next time Jury saw her, she was cold--and dead.  Melrose Plant.  Jury's aristocratic sidekick wasn't faring much better.  Snow bound at a stately mansion with a group of artists, critics, and idle-but-titled rich, he, too, encountered a lovely lady . . . or rather, stumbled over her corpse.  What linked these two yuletide murders was a remote country pub where snooker, a Nativity scene, and an old secret would uncover a killer . . . or yet another death.
