The Old Success, Grimes - C

                                           Befuddlement is seldom the reaction to a book in this magnificent series.  But for me and apparently many others, the story here is virtually unreadable. This is the twenty-fifth Richard Jury novel and sadly, the author, approaching 90, has lost more than a step. I suspect this is the end of the line.  For the last forty years, it has been a delight as you opened the latest in the series with relish, looking forward to the extended cast of characters in Jury's life. A sad au revoir.
