Fiction. Mystery. Suspense. Thriller. HTML:

When three women die of "natural causes" in London and the West Country, there appears to be no connection-or reason to suspect foul play. But Scotland Yard Superintendent Richard Jury has other ideas, and before long he's following his keen police instincts all the way to Santa Fe, New Mexico.
There, in the company of a brooding thirteen-year-old girl and her pet coyote, he mingles with an odd assortment of characters and tangles with a twisted plot that stretches from England to the American Southwest. And while his good friend Melrose Plant pursues inquires in London, Jury delves deeper into the more baffling elements of the case, discovering firsthand what the guide books don't tell you; that the Land of Enchantment is also a landscape ripe with tragedy, treachery, and murder.

Rainbow’s End provided many interesting aspects but went too far with multiple characters and extreme detail and exposition. Many of the scenes and characters could have been omitted from this story, as the narrative droned like a litany. In this installation, every past character appears in a scene or two. Sergeant Wiggins enters the hospital due to receiving an electrical shock. In the hospital, Wiggins practically solves the murder of three women, but it takes almost 400 pages for the case to be closed. Another aspect falls in the realm of a young girl that aids Richard Jury with the case. At the end of the novel, the young girl exits the stage without her future determined. I do not like open ended stories. I want to know all the answers, which does not happen in a Richard Jury novel. ( )

An American woman is found dead in the bottom of a garderobe (privy) at Old Saram. A second woman dies in Exeter Cathedral while looking at some hand embroidered cushions. Jury meets up with Commander Macalvie, who feels there may be a connection between the two women and wants Jury to go to New Mexico and check it out. Jury is hesitant, but is also at loose ends for something to do.

The American is from New Mexico and the Exeter woman had recently visited New Mexico. A third person is a woman who keeled over at the Tate Gallery, collapsing next to a young couple, engaged in a display of intense affection in public. This death occurred a while back and Jury had been at the Tate at the time. Macalvie has found out that woman had also been in New Mexico and met up with the Exeter woman in Santa Fe, the town the American woman was from. All three deaths are initially determined to be a result of a coronary event. Macalvie is convinced it isn’t coincidental, but that it is murder.

Jury finds himself on the way to New Mexico to investigate. Upon arrival he meets the thirteen year old younger sister of the Old Sarum death. She is a serious and brooding girl who has a coyote for a pet. Jury also meets an assortment of local character while trying to tie the three deaths together. Meanwhile, Melrose Plant handles investigating in London and surrounds to find more pieces to the puzzle.

Jury is also facing moments and memories of his young years and the loss of his parents during the bombings; flashbacks to before and after the events and how his live had drastically changed. He is also trying to quit smoking.

There are quite a number of threads that require sorting before the connections can be made. I enjoy the fact that it takes a bit and isn’t a slam dunk solution. ( )

In der Kathedrale von Exeter bricht eine Stickerin zusammen. In der Tate Gallery stirbt eine ältere Dame. Und in den Ruinen der keltischen Wallanlage Old Sarum stürzt eine Amerikanerin in enen tiefen Schacht. Jedes Mal lautet die Diagnose Herzversagen. Doch Inspektor Jury will nicht an einen Zufall glauben. Denn die drei Frauen verbindet ein mysteriöses Detail; Sie waren alle kurz vor ihrem Tod in Santa Fe.

From Exeter Cathedral to Santa Fe, New Mexico, Richard Jury is in pursuit of an elusive killer. I read this one a while ago and forgot to include it in my list of Richard Jury novels read, so I'm short on details but do recall that - as always - I enjoy the characters created by Martha Grimes and the story line, wherever it may take me.

Blah. The murder investigation was very interesting, but there was so much blather about Plant's and Jury's childhoods and Jury's trials of quitting cigarettes that it positively ruined the book. ( )
