Description

The bestselling author of the Richard Jury novels delivers a razor-sharp and raucously funny send-up of the cutthroat world of publishing. And the praise is pouring in:
"A hilarious and wicked caper-adventure on the evils of the book business."
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

"Does laughing uncontrollably on a subway train constitute legitimate literary criticism? If it does, then Foul Matter...gets a great review from me." —New York Times Book Review

"She can kick literary butt—in more ways than one." —USA Today

    I normally love Martha Grimes' books but this one was tedious beyond belief. Don't bother.
  • An unexpected delight!

    I got this book thinking it was a Richard Jury novel (it had showed up in a search); it is not...But it is a great read! Karl, Candy, Ned and Clive along with the rest are such great characters. An interesting peek into the publishing world, also.
