One Messy Family Visit

Water Like a Stone by Deborah Crombie

September 10, 2023 by Kit Moonstar Leave a Comment

When Duncan brings Gemma and the boys home for Christmas, he steps into a bit of a mess.  His sister’s marriage is imploding and she’s just discovered a body at her worksite.  Before long there’s another body as well, this one found by Kit.  Gemma and Duncan lend their expertise to the local police force, led by an old friend of Duncan’s, while trying to navigate family landmines. This was a great outing.  I loved getting to see more of Duncan’s family.  His mom had […]

While Gemma’s dealing with a missing child case, Duncan catches a possible arson, complicated by the fact that they found a body at the site.  When Gemma also gets called in to help a friend with another potential missing person, their leads indicate that the two cases are connected.  But can they solve them quickly enough when the life of a child might be at stake?
