All Shall Be Well

De: Deborah Crombie

Narrado por: Michael Deehy

Perhaps it is a blessing when Jasmine Dent dies in her sleep. At last an end has come to the suffering of a body horribly ravaged by disease. It may well have been suicide; she had certainly expressed her willingness to speed the inevitable. But small inconsistencies lead her neighbor, Superintendent Duncan Kincaid, to a startling conclusion: Dent was murdered. But if not for mercy, why would someone destroy a life already doomed? As Kincaid and his appealing assistant Sergeant Gemma James sift through the dead woman's strange history, a troubling puzzle emerges: a bizarre amalgam of charity and crime--and of the blinding passions that can drive the human animal to perform cruel and inhuman acts.

Wonderful experience

I enjoyed this immensely - look forward to the rest of the series! Intriguing story - wonderful narration!

Charming

Enjoyed the story. Not a thriller but interesting problem and solution. A good who done it.

Not satisfying for me (spoiler alert 🚨 )⤵️

More irritating. However, I will admit that the story did intrigue me. I did not like the ending.

Spoiler… don’t read this before you listen to the book, but for someone that devotes their entire life to caring for people ending up in prison for murder was not my favorite ending.

I guess authors have to keep pushing the envelope. I have mixed feelings about this book

Well Done

Good even paced, interesting story, good narrator. Ending unexpected because several possibilities kept from giving final clues. Glad for the happiness that sadness brought and then gave gifts of richness (not just in $$$) to lives.

Down a Notch from Book One . . . Still Good

When Superintendent Duncan Kincaid's terminally ill neighbor, Jasmine Dent, turns up dead, at first it seems to be suicide . . . but something just doesn't sit right . . . with a lot of people. Most of all her best friend, who swears that Jasmine had come to the decision to enjoy the last days or weeks of her life. Duncan and his assistant, Sergeant Gemma James look into Jasmine's life and relationships and learn some interesting things. What clouds the story and makes it more dingy for me is Superintendent Kincaid's daydreams of Jasmine on a personal level . . . it makes the tale almost sleazy . . . a far departure from the first book in the series . . . when it seemed as though a sweetness and closeness was developing between Duncan and Gemma . . . this second installment is all over the place . . . perhaps that's what some readers expect or want in a man . . . not me . . . I am hoping the next in the series is more about the mystery and less about the sex . . . the wrap up at the end was a good one, although a bit far fetched . . .

Suicide?

This is the second of this series I've read and find them very good indeed

I love a good mystery

I particularly like that this author creates compelling characters and that they are not stupid!!!!
Also that I frequently pick the wrong person committing the crime. Brilliant

A very good book

This was my first book by this author so I wasn't sure what to expect. I found the story entertaining without being too complex; the main characters were likable; and the narration was very enjoyable. I liked that the author took the time to put in nuances that gave you a better sense of the scene without boring you with too many details. The narrator had a pleasant voice and did well for both the male and female parts. I would read this author again.

Another enjoyable listen

I tried the first in this series and it just couldn’t keep my attention. My next was the 11th in the series,really enjoyed it. You have to be prepared for onslaught of characters very early or you could get lost, frustrated (i started over 3x). This was my 3rd book, knowing now how she writes,what to expect, I liked it best so far. I see some maturity in her writing from this to that 11th book. Absolutely loving Audible with the Plus Catalog! When you get hooked on an author giving free choices in a great series, you wind up buying the rest! Good marketing, lol. On to the next Kinkaid and Jemma

A big step down from the first book

This book didn't hold my interest as much as the first book.
I didn't care about the characters in this book all that much. The story was all over the place, the twist was a bit unbelievable as if the author was writing and realized she didn't know who did it herself and then had to go back and write a story to fit who she chose.
And Duncan Kincaid's character seemed really preoccupied with breasts in this story, a completely different man than the 1st book
