E. Bukowsky said "Yesterday her life had cracked open and there could be no putting it back.". In Deborah Crombie's "Where Memories Lie," Superintendant Duncan Kincaid and Detective Inspector Gemma James have settled into domestic tranquility with their sons from former relationships, thirteen-year-old Kit and five-year-old Toby.

Now in its 12th installment, her Duncan Kincaid-Gemma James mysteries are complex, involving and cleverly crafted; the progression of the love story between the two cops and their interactions with friends and family is compelling; the secondary characters, good and bad, are always exceptionally well drawn.

Another winner from Crombie I've read the first 12 books in the Kincaid/James series and I've thoroughly enjoyed them all.

She leaves little bread crumbs along the way, making you guess not just whodunit in this book, but at who will be featured more in the future.Highly recommended.
