The Old Fox Deceiv'D: A Richard Jury Novel by Martha Grimes
Book Description Scotland Yard's Richard Jury and his sidekick Melrose Plant converge on a northern fishing village to hunt down a wily killer. Reader Reviews 4 of 6 people found the following review helpful: More Plant, Please!, December 7, 2002 Reviewer: Jan Knott from Alto, Texas USA Anticipating more of the humor and eccentricities that characterized the first in this series, The Man with a Load of Mischief, I was disappointed to find much of it missing in this second book, The Old Fox Deceiv'd. The plot is as intelligent and intriguing as all of Grimes' stories in the Richard Jury series, but I prefer it balanced with the charm and delightful characterizations of the denizes of that English village Long Piddleton. While Richard Jury is Grimes' hero in this series, the character of Melrose Plant is the one that makes me keep returning to these books for more. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title
