Cover for the book Necessary As Blood by Deborah Crombie

The Best of the Whole Lot

Necessary As Blood by Deborah Crombie

September 10, 2023 by Kit Moonstar Leave a Comment

When Gemma’s friend Tim calls her in to help when a friend of his goes missing, she finds herself caught up in what happens to the man’s daughter Charlotte, whose mother disappeared months earlier.  And when Duncan’s latest murder case just happens to be the same man, the two of them pool resources to solve the murder.  But more than one man’s murder is connected to this case, and the more they investigate, the higher the stakes seem to get. I think this might be […]

Cover for Where Memories Lie by Deborah Crombie

A Long Legacy of Tragedy

Where Memories Lie by Deborah Crombie

When Gemma’s friend Erika rings her for help, Gemma quickly finds herself embroiled in a decades old mystery of a valuable broach stolen from a Jewish refugee that has suddenly reappeared at auction.  And when the young woman at the auction house who handled it is killed, Gemma doesn’t believe it’s a coincidence.  Unfortunately, it’s not just the case that demands her attention as her mother has just been diagnosed with cancer. I loved the fact that this one was more focused on Gemma than […]

Cover for the book Water Like a Stone by Deborah Crombie

One Messy Family Visit

Water Like a Stone by Deborah Crombie

September 10, 2023 by Kit Moonstar Leave a Comment

When Duncan brings Gemma and the boys home for Christmas, he steps into a bit of a mess.  His sister’s marriage is imploding and she’s just discovered a body at her worksite.  Before long there’s another body as well, this one found by Kit.  Gemma and Duncan lend their expertise to the local police force, led by an old friend of Duncan’s, while trying to navigate family landmines. This was a great outing.  I loved getting to see more of Duncan’s family.  His mom had […]
