Leave the Grave Green | Deborah Crombie
10 posts | 15 read | 1 reading | 3 to read
When Connor Swann, the dissolute son-in-law of renowned and influential Sir Gerald and Dame Caroline Asherton, is found floating in a Thames River lock, the circumstances eerily recall a strangely similar tragedy. Twenty years ago, the Ashertons' young son, Matthew, a musical prodigy, drowned in a swollen stream while in the company of his sister Julia -- Connor Swann's wife. Police Superintendant Duncan Kincaid and Sergeant Gemma James quickly discover that Connor's death was no accident, and that nothing in the Asherton family is as it seems. Connor, though estranged from Julia for more than a year, still lives in her London apartment, where his exploits with women and gambling suggest plenty of motives. The Ashertons are far more attached to Connor than to their own daughter, and these are only the first of the secrets that haunt the suspects. New lies cover older lies, as Kincaid finds himself dangerously drawn to Julia Swann, and Gemma must confront her own troubling feelings for Kincaid.

I‘m in New Jersey to house sit for the next two weeks. 1. Audiobook to keep me company on the road.
2. We‘ll be going out for pizza for dinner.
3. Yesterday I went for a nature walk at a local park.
4. I reorganized my bookshelves, donated several books, and brought with me enough reading material for two months.
5. I had a good weekend at the ballpark for my last games of the season.

I really enjoy this series; the main characters are believable and engaging, and the mysteries are solid. I read two books in the series this week, both set in the Fall. No spoilers, but given the way this one turned out I wanted to read the next one right away! Fortunately I had it on hand.

Making good progress on my #BookSpinBingo card!

I haven't read any of the Gemma James/ Duncan Kincaid novels in a while. First published in 1995, the book shows it's age some, but not in bad way... i was just thinking while reading that times sure have changed in the last 25 years... thank goodness.

I loved Enid Blyton as a kid... haven't thought about the books in years and now that I read this line, I want to pick up one of her books again...

I'm a sucker for these types of series. And I never guess endings, so they're always fun for me.

This is the 3rd Kincaid/James mystery in the series, and it felt rather slow until about 3/4 of the way in. There was the actual mystery and relationship mysteries, one of which was resolved and the other...made more complicated? I am a bit ambivalent about the latter, but the series continues, and we shall see what we shall see. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It's Saturday night and rainy. Time to get under a blanket with a mystery. It's supposed to be hot next weekend. I feel like I should savor blanket reading time before backyard reading time begins.
