With each new story, Ms. Grimes seems more and more determined to leave the Long Piddleton group further and further behind. While some will welcome that change, others will regret it. Melrose Plant plays a conspicuous role in the Black Cat only for humor's sake . . . which is actually pretty well done. If you haven't read any other books in the series, I can assure you that this book will be quite confusing. You probably won't rate it even as high as three stars. If you are determined to read The Black Cat, at least go back and read The Old Wine Shades and Dust first. I found it a little hard to take the story seriously. It's almost a satire on a Richard Jury novel. The murder victim seems vaguely familiar to several people, but no one places the well-dressed victim as a local. Come on! How likely is that? If that weren't enough, the cat and dog dialogue is pretty hot and heavy in this one. And there's also one of the least satisfying encounters with Harry Johnson of the books in which he appears. The mystery itself is pretty decent if you can get past the almost gratuitous side trips into the earlier stories. But be sure that you have an interest in women's shoes. Otherwise, you'll think you are watching E! rather than reading a murder mystery with the taciturn Richard Jury. Ms. Grimes, I'm sorry that your cat, Blackie, died. You are kind to carry on Blackie's memory in this way. Eine Rezension von Ein Kunde vom 8. Juni 2010 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
