"Once again, Grimes hooks her readers with the engaging Jury and friends an d with skillful tucking of hints into unexpected corners." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) When three women die of "natural causes" in London and the West Country, th ere appears to be no connection--or reason to suspect foul play. But Scotla nd Yard Superintendent Richard Jury has other ideas, and before long he's f ollowing his keen police instincts all the way to Santa Fe, New Mexico. There, in the company of a brooding thirteen-year-old girl and her pet coyo te, he mingles with an odd assortment of characters and tangles with a twis ted plot that stretches from England to the American Southwest. And while h is good friend Melrose Plant pursues inquiries in London, Jury delves deepe r into the more baffling elements of the case, discovering firsthand what t he guide books don't tell you: that the Land of Enchantment is also a lands cape ripe with tragedy, treachery, and murder. "RAINBOW'S END is itself a literary rainbow. It's the skillful blend of mys tery and comedy and pathos, a Martha Grimes trademark, that makes this visi t with Richard Jury and company so memorable and satisfying." --Mostly Murder.
