In a Dark House (Duncan Kincaid / Gemma James Novels, #10) (Duncan Kincaid/Gemma James)

by Deborah Crombie

A corpse, burned beyond recognition, has been uncovered in a vacant warehouse in Southwark . . . A young, beautiful hospital administrator has vanished without a trace, her past a mystery to even her closest friend . . .

And across the City, within an old, dark, rambling house, a rigidly controlling, anonymous woman is holding ten-year-old Harriet hostage.

While innocent lives hang in the balance, sinister truths unfurl and DS Duncan Kincaid and DI Gemma James must call upon all resources to work together on their most menacing case yet . . .

‘Deborah Crombie just keeps getting better and better. In a Dark House is utterly compelling’ PETER ROBINSON

I read this on my Nook on the plane ride to San Francisco, and I was about 40 pages from the end when they announced we had to turn off all electronics to prepare for landing. To which I responded, "ARRRRRRGGGHHH." Deborah Crombie put together the best mystery I've read in a really long time here, with an unidentified murder victim and numerous seemingly unrelated threads, and it was absolutely impossible to predict how anything was going to be resolved. Having to wait until this morning to finish it was literary torture.
