Jerusalem Inn (Richard Jury Mysteries Book 5)

From the rough but colorful pub that provides the bookâ€™s title, to the snowboard Gothic estate nearby, the chilly English landscape has never held more atmosphereâ€”or thwarted romance. And Jury will never have a more mysterious Christmas.

Five Days Before Christmas: On his way to a brief holiday (he thinks) Jury meets a woman he could fall in love with. He meets her in a snow-covered graveyardâ€”not, he thinks, the best way to begin an attachment.

Four Days Before Christmas: Jury meets Father Rourke, who draws for him the semiotic squareâ€”â€œa structure that might simplify thought,â€ says the priest, but Juryâ€™s thoughts need more than symbols.

Three Days Before Christmas: Melrose Plant, Juryâ€™s aristocratic and unofficial assistant, arrives at Spinney Abbey, now home to a well-known critic. Among the assembled snowbound guests he meetsâ€”Lady Assington, Beatrice Sleight, and the painter Edward Parmenger. When they all assemble in the dining room, Lady Assington announces, â€œI think we should have a murder.â€
