No Mark Upon Her audiobook free

“No Mark on Her” is the first of this series that I have read. As other reviewers have noted, the author writes very well, and the story is a good one with lots of insight into that peculiarly British pastime of rowing to nowhere. However, as others have also noted, the scenes of domestic life of the police persons involved is pointless padding which takes up a full third of the book. This seems to be part of an emerging sub-genre of police procedurals and mystery books where the underlying crime is secondary to the personal trials and tribulations of the detectives in their off duty lives. This sub-genre deserves a name so as to alert those of us who have no interest in what books cops read to their children at bedtime. There is a reason that the great fictional detectives – Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot, Nero Wolfe, Philip Marlowe, Miss Marple, Inspector Morse, and Adam Dalgliesh (mostly) were all bachelors. Their authors did not want the domestic entanglements of their protagonists to disrupt the tempo of the story. How can there be any real tension when every other chapter is devoted to the tea time menu at home and changing nappies?

No Mark Upon Her audiobook in series Duncan Kincaid / Gemma James Mystery Novels

Crombie writes well crafted stories that draw the reader in right away. Her characters are consistent and believable– you finish feeling like you know them. She has also.mastered the art of creating a long story arc with recurring characters that strikes an appropriate balance between keeping them internally consistent from book to book but avoids the trap that many (most) series authors fall into of requiring readers to read the entire series (in order, while memorizing certain details) in order to understand what is going on. I’ve read several of her books out of order and I feel confident that I could pick up any one and quickly get centered for that story. That is an under-appreciated skill and, to me, sets her apart as a thoughtful writer and excellent storyteller. In this book, she also immerses the reader in the odd, esoteric world of competitive rowing without getting lost in the details– another hallmark of a careful writer. I enjoyed my visit to her characters’ world and look forward to my next one!

I loved this book. Full disclosure – I am in the process of reading this series through in order and have enjoyed all of the books. There is something special about this one, though. It almost seems personal. The story revolves around the murder of Olympic level rower and DCI Rebecca Meredith. The cast of suspects are believably drawn from the victim’s professional and personal life. The story unfolds as a peony opens, each level both reveals and conceals clues and motives. In the end, the murderer is revealed, but at a cost no one wants to pay and Kincaid learns that betrayal is the only constant.

Audiobook No Mark Upon Her by Deborah Crombie

Crombie always chooses a subject that I, for one, generally know nothing about–the narrowboats and canals still holding a part in England’s history and heart, for example. Anyway, with almost every book I’m sent to Google to find out more about whatever she’s chosen for that particular book. This time her theme was rowing and rowers. If you are not a rower yourself, but live anywhere never a school or club that sponsors rowing, you do yourelf a disservice if you don’t ask the coach to take you out on the water in the launch when the crews are on the water. It is nothing short of a Zen experience. I can describe the beauty of a boat of 8 men or women with a coxain calling cadence, but it can never approach experiencing the wonder for yourself. As I said above, I loved this book. Not only because of the theme, but because of the beautifully develped characters; both old and new. If you don’t bother to read another Crombie book, do yourself a favor and read this one.

Audio No Mark Upon Her narrated by Michael Deehy

Olympic rowing hopeful and senior Metropolitan Police officer DCI Rebecca Meredith goes out alone to train on the river in Henley on a dark afternoon in late October – and doesn’t return.”
Really enjoyed this one, 5 Stars. Three books left until the new one comes out ( but I’ll be rereading for sure.)

The characters and the mystery behaved impeccably with lots of twists and turns. Happily the newer folks in the cast of characters “buddied up” at the culmination which builds anticipation.

Every new book has a different theme which creates the learning curve that makes them so special.(for me, why I read this type of mystery)

I recommend this Kincaid/James mystery highly to fans of the series. If you’ve not followed this series, some of the family and relationship back stories will seem like padding, and that is why I give the book only 4 stars. The murder investigation plot of this book was quite excellent, in my opinion. Ms Crombie writes well.

I also learned a lot about the drive and training that pushes competitive rowers. The book was very well researched. I also thought the author’s realistic description of how a police (or any) institution can be affected by “old boy” networks and a driving need to close ranks rather than admit to any flaws or weaknesses was a particular strength of this book.

I began reading the Duncan Kincaid/Gemma James books in the middle of the series – Water Like a Stone – and was hooked but, to be honest, I wouldn’t have read all Deborah Crombie’s 18 in the series had I started at the first which Is good but not as rounded as the later novels and I held off commenting on any until completed the marathon. Firstly, I can say, without fear or favour, that I thoroughly enjoyed all of the mysteries. They are all whodunnits but centred around an expanding group of families and friends. While each book covers a separate mystery and murder(s) there is the recurrent theme of the family that runs through all the stories – and often murders come to Duncan and Gemma – separately and together. Because of the titles there is no need for a spoiler alert to the readers of the first book to know that Duncan and Gemma become an item and then a family – not as quickly as one might think. Having read a number of books that have been turned into TV series I’m surprised that no-one has attempted to turn what I believe to be one of the finest of the genre – I have not come across another series that so economically but finely draws its main characters. However, I notice that many of the current TV series have relatively few central characters and that perhaps the increasing cast of friends and family (despite losing a few on the way) might put producers off.
