Book Reviews of Where Memories Lie
Book Review: A decent read
Summary: 3 Stars
Heavy praise by Amazon reviewers led me to "Where Memories Lie," and although I didn't find it to match the best in British mystery writing, Deborah Crombie certainly knows how to put a decent plot and police procedural together.
The story has already been well-explained by other readers, so no need to provide further details. What I especially liked about the book was the likable, realistic relationship between the two principals, Detective Inspector Gemma James and her partner (in life), Chief Inspector Duncan Kincaid. They make an effective and credible crime solving team as well as an interesting and lively couple. I think that much more is known about this relationship if earlier books in the series have been read previously. This was my first James/Kincaid book.
What I liked less about the novel was a certain unevenness in the frequent chronological switch backs. There are three time periods (more or less) woven into the story and there were times when it was difficult to know where the story line had landed.
Overall, this was an enjoyable read and I'd give it a 3.5 if Amazon permitted it.
