Title : The Miraculous Necklace - Martha Grimes - Book

Summary :

A violinist is brutally murdered in the London Underground. She was originally from a village with the charming name of Littlebourne. However, a dog has just discovered a strange treat in the nearby woods: a human finger! Scotland Yard has only one bloodhound capable of establishing a link between these two cases: Commissioner Richard Jury. And since the mystery is unusually opaque, he calls on his friend Melrose Plant, an amateur detective.

Together, they will explore the corridors of the London tube and the outskirts of the dark Horndean Forest. And the most diverse suspects present themselves to them: a couple of odious snobbish country squires, a surly old ornithologist, a widow living in a freezing manor house and a wild little girl who knows how to tame the most unruly horses... but not the most phlegmatic duo in the Yard!

This book received the Nero Wolfe Award for "Best Mystery of the Year" upon its release in 1983. This award has already been given to Michael Connelly and Fred Harris.
