In A Dark House

by Deborah Crombie

HARPERCOLLINS PUBLISHERS | December 8, 2005 | Mass Market Paperbound

An abandoned Southwark warehouse burns next door to a women's shelter for victims of spousal abuse. Within it lies the charred corpse of a female body burned beyond all recognition. At the same time, workers at Guy's Hospital anxiously discuss the disappearance of a hospital administrator -- a beautiful, emotionally fragile young woman who's vanished without a trace.

And in an old, dark, rambling London house, nine-year-old
Harriet's awful fears won't be silenced -- as she worries about her
feuding parents, her schoolwork . . . and the strange woman who
is her only companion in this scary, unfamiliar place.

Gemma James and Duncan Kincaid -- lovers and former partners -- have their own pressing concerns. But they must put aside private matters to investigate these disturbing cases. Yet neither Gemma nor Duncan realize how closely the cases are connected -- or how important their resolutions will be for an abducted young child who is frightened, alone . . . and in serious peril.

    Juicy British who-done-it

    This review is from: In A Dark House (Hardcover)

    A good Deborah Crombie, Who-done-it is just what I needed to get my Fall off to the right start. Just seems to go well with the fall colors. As always the book is carried by the main characters. In this edition Scotland yard superitendant Duncan Kinkaid and his partner (and lover) Gemma James (always makes me think Jenna Jameson!) are on the chase of a serial arsonist who is terrorizing London, While also looking into the abduction of a 10 year old girl that may have been committed by the parents who are going through a hotely contested divorce. Woven into the story are the many subplots that continue on from previous books in the series. Fans of the seriers will be happy, and the book also stands well enough alone for the unintiated to give it a try.
