Scotland Yard Superintendent Duncan Kincaid and his sergeant Gemma Jones are back in Leave the Grave Green, the 3rd book Deborah Crombie’s Series.
This third installment in the Gemma and Kincaid series, is centered around the alleged drowning of Conner Swann, whose death may have been a tragic accident… but because the death is suspicious, and because Connor’s in-laws are influential, Kincaid has been assigned the case.
Kincaid immediately finds himself drawn to Connor’s widow, Julia, an artist, and struggles to maintain his professionalism, and Gemma is mortified to discover she is jealous. Meanwhile, the detectives unearth some rather unsavory facts about the victim, while pondering a similar ‘accident’ involving Julia’s brother, many years prior.
