A Finer End

A Duncan Kincaid / Gemma James Novel

De: Deborah Crombie

Narrado por: Jenny Sterlin

Here are two spellbinding mysteries, one contemporary, and one ancient - that will challenge Superintendent Duncan Kincaid and Gemma James as no case ever has.

Glastonbury is a town revered as the mythical burial place of King Arthur, and, according to New Age followers, a source of strong Druid power. Something terrible and bloody shattered Glastonbury Abbey's peace long ago - and now it is about to spark a violence that will reach forward into the present.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Crombie has laid claim to the literary territory of moody psychological suspense owned by P. D. James and Barbara Vine." ( The Washington Post)

Not my favorite

I really love Deborah Crombie's writing. This is a departure from her usual style. I wouldn't recommend it unless you like a murder mystery mixed up with magic, dark forces and holy grail-ish mysticism. Some of you may love it, but it isn't my cup of tea. I still plan to read every book she's ever written. She makes a brilliant study of human nature. Her characters and dialogue are so good. She has become one of my favorite authors.

A Finer End

Very good characters and good story.
Narrator: drippy.
I just love that a writer took on the solitary detective *thing* and is doing a mighty good job of it.

outstanding series

I love this series. bought the first one on a whim and am not able to stop til I finish the series. very engaging storyline.

Best So Far...

I've been reading (listening to) this whole series in order, and this so far is my favorite! You have to be a bit patient, though, for Gemma and Kincaid don't get involved in the story til around the middle. But the story is wonderfully rich and complex, and touches upon ancient historical and spiritual subjects that are very intriguing. A bonus is that Gemma and Kincaid's relationship takes a surprising turn. Enjoy!

I really enjoyed this book

I liked Deborah Crombie and the relationship between her two main characters. The story took place in Glastonbury England a place that I have visited and a perfect place for this mystery.
