#4 in the Duncan Kincaid and Gemma James Scotland Yard police procedural series. A commander in the police force who lives in a remote village is found with his head bashed in in his kitchen. Was the motive personal, professional, or purely a random act of violence brought about as part of an attempted burglary? Duncan and Gemma, both feeling decidedly awkward after their tumble in the sack at the end of the last book, set out to find the answers, and find much more than they'd bargained for. I really enjoy this series and marvel that I just discovered it last year. I did guess accurately at 'whodunit' very early in the game and even got the 'whydunit' right, but of course had no proof til closer to the end. But it really didn't spoil the book for me at all and I don't think the next in series will be on my TBR stacks for too long! Seems to get better with each book in the series.
