The Train now Departing - Paperback
by Martha Grimes (Author)
Featuring the two novellas:
The Train Now Departing and When "The Mousetrap" Closes
"Full of suspense and surprise. These carefully written little gems showcase Grimes at her best."--Library Journal
"Grimes has created a work of value here, a book that expands her art, her reputation--and possibly her audience."--The Richmond-Times Dispatch
"Atmospheric and chilling...Grimes exhibits] a complete mastery of emotional nuance and a] virtuoso treatment of the grayest coloration."--The Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
"Intelligent...Merits applause."--The Toronto Star
"As atmospherically evocative as an] Edward Hopper painting."--The Washington Post
"An a cappella novella, each note strong and noncompetitive."--Los Angeles Times
"Grimes once again demonstrates her keen eye for character. Both of these languidly paced novellas focus on middle-aged women who long for respite from their narrow, disappointing lives and find it, at least temporarily, in the company of a man...Thoughtful, compelling, even dark stories--for readers more inclined toward investigating emotions than searching for armchair adventure."--Booklist
Martha Grimes is the bestselling author of eighteen Richard Jury mysteries and also the acclaimed fiction Foul Matter, Cold Flat Junction, Hotel Paradise, The End of the Pier, and The Train Now Departing.
