By the way, I looked up the Richard Jury mysteries written by Martha Grimes, trying to trace Cyril the Cat who is always pouncing on Superintendent Racer. I believe the last time Cyril shows up is in the book titled "The Grave Maurice." After that came an installment titled "The Winds of Change," and indeed, a sea change was worked on Richard Jury, including a passionate love affair with a Latin woman. (Melrose Plant, on the other hand, never changes.)
