At a time of technological thrillers where the heroes use their mobile phones to get out of dangerous situations and more tired when violent deaths raining, it's nice to finally read a detective story without chase, but no bomb that keeps us going. Younger, I was "addicted" to the novels of Agatha Christie so well built and where the characters' psychology was so much more important than the action itself. The same goes for this novel Martha Grimes who by many sides, remind me of the Queen of Crime. Recommended to anyone who wants a good read.
