The brutal murder of a much-despised police commander challenges Scotland Yard investigators Duncan Kincaid and Gemma James's relationship. Alastair Gilbert was bludgeoned to death in his kitchen, and the list of potential suspects is long - the man's arrogance earned him widespread enmity both in the village where he lived, and in police circles.
I started this series in 2012 and I am glad to be back reading book #4 in this engaging police procedural series. I found this book to be well-plotted with well-drawn characters and fast-paced dialogue. I enjoyed the town of Holmbury St. Mary and the atmosphere of the setting. Gemma James, sergeant, is having a secret relationship with her detective, Duncan Kincaid. In fact, the book seems to be about relationships; mother/daughter, husband/wife, lovers or police professionals. I looking forward to the next book as this series keeps getting better and better. I would highly recommend this series to those who like Scotland Yard mystery novels.
