Dreaming of the Bones
Duncan Kincaid and Gemma James Series, No. 4
by Deborah Crombie
Duncan's former wife, Dr. Victoria McClellan, a Cambridge don, has written a biography of the poet Lydia Brooke,
who claims kinship to the poet Rupert Brooke. Lydia's suicide five years before appears to Victoria like murder,
and she asks Duncan to look into it. He agrees to do so, but it is the subsequent murder of Victoria that throws
both Duncan and Gemma into an investigation that leads to a search into the distant past. Victoria's murder also
leads Duncan into addressing the problem about the future of Victoria and his son, Kit.
This is another of Crombie's superb novels featuring Kincaid and James. These wonderful characters come alive
with their all too human problems and relationships. The plot is well written and continues at a fast pace. The
descriptions of Cambridge University are excellent. The reader feels he is there. |
