Dust 2007
Dust is a nice throwaway mystery with Richard Jury
doing most of the detecting on a murder in a hotel room. His Long Piddleton
friend Melrose Plant contributes nicely without the long involvement of some of
the other habitues of the town pub. There are red herrings galore and you may
miss some of the allusions if (like me) you are not well enough acquainted with the
works of Henry James. The hot affair between Jury and a sex obsessed fellow detective gets some period chapters and looks more like a set up for future books than something necessary to this one.
