Now May You Weep audiobook free

Detective Inspector Gemma James is happy to be invited for a 4-day long weekend in the Scottish Highlands by her friend and former landlady Hazel; they will be visiting one of Hazel’s old college chums, whose husband offers cooking courses at their homestead. Gemma is somewhat surprised to learn that a neighbour, Donald, is Hazel’s former lover, and when he turns up dead, Gemma has to wonder how well she knows her good friend after all…. There are various complications in “Now May You Weep,” both in the main story and in the ongoing saga of Gemma, her partner Duncan Kincaid and their children, but the focus is largely on the Scottish characters, which is refreshing. One major problem I had with this book in the series, however, is that Hazel has always been portrayed as the most contented person on the planet, happy and secure in her marriage and in her work as a therapist, but suddenly in this book she confesses to having felt half-dead inside since the end of her relationship with Donald some 10 years earlier; it seems to me that Ms. Crombie is willing to completely change the personality of her characters if it suits the story she wants to tell, which I find objectionable. I’m giving this series a rest at the moment, and eventually will have to decide how much I want to continue with it. Sigh.

Review #2

Now May You Weep audiobook in series Duncan Kincaid / Gemma James Mystery Novels

I have been reading the series from the start and as is usually the case with these prolific authors, the quality slowly goes downhill as they constantly meet publishing deadlines. This series has slowly morphed from a police procedural bent to more of a police based soap opera. The depth of narrative about all the characters and their relationships has almost over shadowed the mystery plot. Fine for some, but not my cup of tea….I could not finish this last one and will discontinue the series….

I’ve enjoyed every book in this series! This one is unique in that much of the action takes place in Scotland, and the mystery centers on one of the minor characters in the series. The setting is new, and the descriptions lovely, while the main problem features a crisis faced by a familiar character whom Gemma tries to help. Meanwhile, the story arc of Gemma and Kincaid’s family struggles reaches a climax. The main characters continue to grow while the reader sees them outside of their normal London work setting. Very satisfying!

Audiobook Now May You Weep by Deborah Crombie

Go figure: one of my favorite English mystery writers is . . . a Texan? Yes, it’s true. The biographical blurbs in the back of Deborah Crombie’s English mystery novels insist that she was born and lives in Texas. As an American myself, I can’t claim to be the final authority on the Englishness of Crombie’s narrative prose and dialogue, but I’ve spent enough time in the UK and with British friends not to be too easily fooled, and I’ll be damned if I can find any cultural or linguistic flaws in her writing. And I appear to be in good company, as Deborah Crombie has twice won the British mystery writers’ top award for her novels.

Now May You Weep is the ninth in a series of 13 novels Crombie has written since 1993 about the Scotland Yard duo of Duncan Kincaid and Gemma James. The two are sleuths who live together with his son, her son, two personable dogs, and an indifferent cat in a fashionable London neighborhood.

Like every other novel in its series, I found Now May You Weep to be engrossing and difficult to set aside. The scene is not England this time but Scotland, where Gemma James, recently promoted to Inspector and still recovering from an especially traumatic miscarriage, has gone for a long weekend for a cooking course at a rural bed-and-breakfast with her best bud, Hazel Cavendish. Hazel, long a rock of stability in Gemma’s topsy-turvy life, comes apart at the seams in the course of a weekend of shocking surprises and tragic events.

Crombie’s work is especially strong in painting a picture of the local scene — here, the Scottish highlands in all its stark, windswept glory. A major setting for the novel is an ancient distillery, which serves as the occasion for Crombie to explain in explicit and colorful detail how single-malt Scottish whiskey is made.

Now May You Weep is a stellar crime novel by a writer at the height of her powers. It’s an exceptionally fine read.

Review #4

Audio Now May You Weep narrated by Michael Deehy

In this book (number 9 in the series) the author moves away from London and the English countryside to the Highlands of Scotland. Brilliantly researched as usual – the reader feels at home in Scotland with Deborah Crombie’s descriptive narrative and of course her outstanding ability to have the characters just leap off the page!
A complex plot utilising the author’s favourite technique of delving into the past generations to explain the angst of the current descendants. A little too much like a “romantic thriller” rather than a crime mystery perhaps. Some readers may be a tad disappointed to see some of their most likeable characters from earlier books going through very hard times – but Deborah Crombie seems to delight in dragging we readers back into reality rather than wallowing in too much pleasant fantasy about life as we may like it to be.

These books are descending into silliness. Every page or so everything stops while people either eat or drink tea. Come on, is this really how detectives work in England? Show up to question a suspect but first sit down for coffee, tea or whatever and of course cookies. It’s getting to be beyond ridiculous.

I’ve been a fan of Deborah Crombie for many years; I discovered her when she only had two or three books. I love the characters and the mysteries. I have enjoyed Duncan and Gemma’s growing, complicated relationship. Now I am enjoying reading these again. The setting of this is Scotland and there is a lot of fascinating information about making Whiskey. So have a drink and curl up and enjoy.
