From the audio book description:
The peaceful Christmas card scene of Long Piddleton is suddenly marred by two gruesome murders. The victims are strangers, found in ghastly disarray at two of the local pubs.
Presented with a wide variety of suspects in a town crowded for the holidays, Inspector Richard Jury and the charismatic Melrose Plant rattle the town's skeletons -- bones that the eccentric local population would prefer to keep buried. Together, Jury and Plant must piece together the clues, before a vengeful killer can strike again.
The novel that first introduced Richard Jury to the world, The Man With A Load of Mischief is another spellbinding and delightful audio tale of mystery and suspense from Martha Grimes.
Abridged, read by Tim Curry, two audio cassettes, 180 minutes (3 hours) running time.« less
