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.
