“Zest and wit…Grimes [is] in good form with her literate
style and witty eye.”—The Washington Post
It’s a tragedy of Shakespearean proportions for Scotland
Yard’s Richard Jury …
Superintendent Richard Jury has been wrong before. But when
stating that “nothing ever happens in Stratford,” he never
imagined just how wrong he could be. Besides the stage
murders committed nightly at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre,
a real one has been performed not far from a popular pub
known as The Dirty Duck. The killer has left behind a
fragment of Elizabethan verse—a rhyme that could mean death
with each new line…
“She is working in the great tradition…Good news for
addicts—crime with style.”—Vogue
“A superior writer.”—The New York Times Book
Review
“A star in the mystery genre… an elegant writer and
inventor of dazzling plots…The denouement is a masterly
example of Grimes’s ingenuity.”—Publisher’s
Weekly
