I found To Dwell in Darkness by Deborah Crombie in my Little Free Library and called first dibs. :-) I seem to be in a rut of picking up a book somewhere (ie. a Little Free Library, the book shelf at a resort on vacation) and falling in love with it and thennnnnn realizing I started in the middle of a massive series. HA!
At any rate, I thoroughly enjoyed the key players – Duncan Kincaid and Gemma James. The book had the perfect mix of suspense, darkness, readability and enjoyable characters. I hate moving backwards in a series but have already added the next three to my library list.
Recently transferred to the London borough of Camden from Scotland Yard headquarters, Superintendent Duncan Kincaid and his new murder investigation team are called to a deadly bombing at historic St. Pancras Station. By fortunate coincidence, Melody Talbot, Gemma’s trusted colleague, witnesses the explosion. The victim was taking part in an organized protest, yet the other group members swear the young man only meant to set off a smoke bomb. As Kincaid begins to gather the facts, he finds every piece of the puzzle yields an unexpected pattern, including the disappearance of a mysterious bystander.
The bombing isn’t the only mystery troubling Kincaid. He’s still questioning the reasons behind his transfer, and when his former boss – who’s been avoiding him – is attacked, those suspicions deepen. With the help of his former sergeant, Doug Cullen, Melody Talbot, and Gemma, Kincaid begins to untangle the truth. But what he discovers will leave him questioning his belief in the job that has shaped his life and his values – and remind him just how vulnerable his precious family is.
