Query: Is the title self-explanatory?

This is the first Martha Grimes novel I've read, and as such will simultaneously be the last.Unless (presumably) one is a member of the publishing fraternity, none of this meandering story will make any sense. What was Grimes thinking as she wrote this piece of literary dross. Or wasn't she thinking? No character development at any level, nobody to cheer for, nobody to really detest -- unless you count a mere 99% of the characters. An unlikely, nonsensical "plot" that Grimes must have sketched out on a beer coaster at her local pub.I'm guessing that -- now in her seventies -- Grimes is simply padding out her retirement fund. And taking unfair advantage of innocents such as myself paying hard-earned dollars for poorly cooked tripe -- and minus the onions, at that.
