Mourn Not Your Dead by Deborah CrombieMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
3,5 stars
In the 4th book, Mourn Not Your Dead, Sergeant Gemma James and Superintendent Duncan Kincaid are asked to help with the investigation of the murder of a high ranking police officer, Alastair Gilbert, at his home in Holmbury St Mary, who is disliked intensely by everyone in the village.
The life in the tiny village is very well depicted and the characters are so well-drawn..from the widow, Claire Gilbert and her daughter, Lucy to the locals - the local doctor, vicar, the pub keeper and his kleptomaniac son and even the local and likeable psychic. Of course, the outcome of the investigation was a total surprise.
In between travelling from London to the village, Kincaid and Gemma are trying to come to terms with the development in their relationship, which moved in a new direction when the two slept together at the end of the last book, Leave the Grave Green.
An enjoyable mystery filled with suspense and loads of twists and turns and many unexpected surprises.
