Martha Grimes. The Case Has Altered (1997)

     Martha Grimes. The Case Has Altered (1997) Two women are murdered within a couple weeks of each other. Eventually, the real murderer is found, but in the meantime Jury and Plant have to do all kinds of stuff, and neither is lucky in love. I just can’t care for these people. This is the third Grimes I’ve read, and it’s no better than the first two. I can’t see why she has the rep the blurbs give her. * (2004)
