Martha Grimes?

Posted by Racer on January 16, 2006, at 12:59:43

I just started "Cold Flat Junction," and also have "Foul Matter" waiting in the wings. I do prefer the Richard Jury books, probably because I'd be hard pressed to decide between him and Melrose Plant as a good second choice to my own husband, but have rather enjoyed her other books, too.
I've noticed, though, that the Richard Jury books are getting more and more grim as they go on. The earlier books are so funny, but now they're getting more and more depressing -- and so many characters that we really care about die now. Has anyone else who's familiar with her work noticed this?
Anyway, anyone else out there enjoy her books? What have you read lately?
