Publisher's summary

Gemma James is adjusting to professional and personal changes - and a future now intricately entwined with Duncan Kincaid. But her new responsibilities are put to the test when she is placed in charge of a particularly brutal homicide: The lovely young wife of a wealthy antiques dealer has been found murdered on fashionable Notting Hill.

The main focus of Gemma's investigation is Karl Arrowood, who had the most powerful motive for killing his unfaithful wife. But this case sets off warning bells for Duncan: It's far too similar to an unsolved murder in which an antiques dealer was killed in precisely the same way.

Investigate more mysterious doings with Duncan Kincaid and Gemma James.

Possibly my favorite

Love the way Deborah Crombie braids the past and present together throughout the book. It took great skill to write a novelette within a novel that takes you through some fifty years of storyline so well. All believable and interesting. Many surprises in this one and a bitter sweet ending.

Beautiful and haunting storyline.

I found the foreshadowing well done and didn't figure out the killer early on. well crafted. And I loved the historical insights added about their setting.

Sad Tale

Again, well written. The characters developed from previous books, interacting, continuing in life. Injustices between those who build a fortune at the cost of those struggling. A familiar situation among humans through out history. Yet a very human story that holds our interest.

One of the best in this series

I have read in print all the Gemma James/Duncan Kincaid books over the years, and I'm going back now and listening to them. And I think this was one of the best in the series.

It starts with the murder of antiques dealer in fashionable Notting Hill, but Doug connects it to a similar murder that occurred previously to another antiques dealer elsewhere. As they are investigating these murders, another, slightly mysterious story, is also taking place, weaving in and out of the main one, about a family from Trinidad. Crombie handles the two plot lines very smoothly.

This is also a turning point for the characters in the series, as pregnant Gemma with her son Toby move in with Duncan and his newly-reunited son Kit, as they have decided to be a family. This proves to be a very moving part of the whole story.

I've always liked this series, though later books seem to have more filler and less mystery. I think this one still has a perfect combination of mystery and character development. Recommend!

Skillful Blend of Past and Present

So far I've loved everything about this series. Main characters Duncan Kincaid and Jemma James are interesting, complex characters who have changed and matured as the series progressed.

The story lines are intricate, but not confusing. The pace of the stories is steady, but not overwhelming. In this book Debra Crombie once again skillfully weaves elements from the past into the current mystery. There is tragedy, but there is also hope.

Narrator Michael Deehy is excellent. The tone of his voice is pleasing, his diction is excellent.

I look forward to listening to more books in this series.

Such a tangled web we weave.....

Having listened all the Gemma James and Duncan Kincaid novels and found them all so good as to capture a place on my “favorites” list, this story was so touching as to demand comment and written praise.

One drop of poisoned water in the pond and an abundance of human responses come together in a table of stories detailing tragedy and strength in the Nottinghill neighborhood of London from post WW1 1 to a current time period when Gemma and Duncan begin to forge together their own blended family. Their personal efforts are challenged by careers, ex in laws and deep loss as they piece together decades of mystery and consequences leading to the murders they must solve.

Michael DeHey’s narration add the tone necessary to this compelling story. 5 Stars pure and simple.
