A week’s holiday in a luxurious Yorkshire time-share is just what Scotland Yard’s Superintendent Duncan Kincaid needs. But the discovery of a body floating in the whirlpool bath ends Kincaid’s vacation before it’s begun. One of his new acquaintances at Followdale House is dead; another is a killer.
Despite a distinct lack of cooperation from the local constabulary, Kincaid’s keen sense of duty won’t allow him to ignore the heinous crime, impelling him to send for his enthusiastic young assistant, Sergeant Gemma James. But the stakes are raised dramatically when a second murder occurs, and Kincaid and James find themselves in a determined hunt for a fiendish felon who enjoys homicide a bit too much. TweetReviews
This story is set in a timeshare complex near Thirsk in Yorkshire. Superintendent Duncan Kincaid is on holiday there when a body is found and he quickly realises the death wasn’t an accident. As he gets involved in tracking down the killer the investigation reveals more links between the different guests than had first been thought; and there are more deaths before the case is resolved. Mo had picked this up in a charity shop without realising it was an American edition (Deborah Crombie is an American author) and she said her enjoyment was spoilt by the American spellings and language, and although she knew that sounded rather picky, it was really grating, so it only gets 3-Stars.
