I definitely would recommend this novel to a Deborah Crombie fan, especially if that fan was up to date with the back stories of Duncan and Gemma’s life together and their blended family. That background, and the “private” lives of those in their circle, does intrude on the darkness and complexity of the murder investigation. Therefore, I wouldn’t recommend this book to a new reader unless that reader intended to continue with the series.

The case being investigated by Gemma and her D.S. Melody Talbot, has a back story too, and I’m not sure the reader needs to know so much through the flashbacks. It is what it is and I’m giving the book 4 stars because it’s a great plot and as well written as Deborah Crombie’s best mysteries. And thanks for the maps. They’re part of the attraction of these books to someone who’s never been there.

Audio A Bitter Feast narrated by Michael Deehy

Every time Deborah Crombie publishes a new book in The Duncan Kincaid/Gemma James Novels I go back to A Share in Death and read all the ones that come before the new one. In this way, it all feels as one whole novel with each book a chapter. It makes a lot of sense and it makes me appreciate the whole even more.

It is now the 22nd of September 2014, at 10:45pm, and I have finished reading the 15th novel, The Sound of Broken Glass, just in time. I can start reading the next book in this series, To Dwell In Darkness, right away, as I have already got it!!! One of the advantages of having Kindle is that the book has magically appeared there without my intervention. I had pre-ordered it!, and it has worked! I can get the hard copy any other time.

Now I will find out about the “transfer” and stop worrying, I think.

What catches my attention about The Sound of Broken Glass every time I read it is precisely what the title points to. There are two instances of it – the environs where a lot of the action takes place, Crystal Palace, and the way the building itself became an icon at the time and was then destroyed. Within this neighborhood,also Crystal Palace, we hear the sound of glass shattering at a pivotal point in the novel, and it has to do with Nadine, one of the intriguing characters in this novel. Both instances are related to the end of something – an era; a friendship.

And there is another sound, the haunting music of Andy Monahan’s guitar. I could hear it, and immediately thought how wonderful it would be to have a CD of his songs. They went viral in the Internet, so why can’t we have them? The guitar takes a life of its own and becomes another intoxicating character.

As with the other books in this series, we get several glimpses of Gemma and Duncan’s life at home with their three children. Their antics and the problems they cause, together with the joy they bring, help in making the main characters more well rounded, and also more “human” – the way it should be, and what we find in other successful mysteries too. It would be also very boring and “unrealistic” to have only the bare bones of the sleuthing.

As I reach the end, I immediately visualize Robert Frost’s poem “fire and ice” – as I always do when I am at that point. How could I not do it, when the scene reflects the poem so much?

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

And now, after having been held captive in Crombie’s world for a long time, and loving it, I will start To Dwell In Darkness, which I shall have to read with artificial light, as I don’t want to be “in the darkness”

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.
