Deborah Crombie
New York Times best-selling author Deborah Crombie makes her mark with this absorbing, finely hued tale of suspense - a deeply atmospheric and twisting mystery full of deadly secrets, salacious lies, and unexpected betrayals involving the mysterious drowning of a Met detective - an accomplished rower - on the Thames.
When a K9 search-and-rescue team discovers a woman's body tangled up with debris in the river, Scotland Yard superintendent Duncan Kincaid finds himself heading an investigation fraught with complications. The victim, Rebecca Meredith, was a talented but difficult woman with many admirers - and just as many enemies. An Olympic contender on the verge of a controversial comeback, she was also a high-ranking detective with the Met - a fact that raises a host of political and ethical issues in an already sensitive case.
To further complicate the situation, a separate investigation, led by Detective Inspector Gemma James, Kincaid's wife, soon reveals a disturbing - and possibly related - series of crimes, widening the field of suspects. But when someone tries to kill the search-and-rescue team member who found Rebecca's body, the case becomes even more complex and dangerous, involving powerful interests with tentacles that reach deep into the heart of the Met itself.
Surrounded by enemies with friendly faces, pressured to find answers quickly while protecting the Yard at all costs, his career and reputation on the line, Kincaid must race to catch the killer before more innocent lives are lost - including his own.

if you are new to crombie, think about starting with the early novels so you can see how these characters grow as police officers, as individuals and how their romance develops. and you get to watch how a good writer just gets better.
"dreaming of the bones", "necessary as blood" and "kissed a sad good-bye" are my top choices, but all her books are consistently engaging and quite wonderful. ms. crombie is not only a fine story teller but is a talented writer.
so i will be rereading and listening to them all again. and waiting for the next one! i have some books, some on kindle and all that are available on audio through audible. what amazing choices we have these days.
you can follow her on Facebook where she talks about her kitties, her book tour, her Jungle Red women writing group and where she introduced me to a great weekly book review Shelf Review.
a great addition to the series

Any additional comments?
Crombie's mysteries often involve long-hidden secrets from the past and a generous outlay of interesting characters. No Mark Upon Her is especially strong on the character aspect, as each scene reveals a new facet to the featured personality, so that the listener gets to know these people layer by layer. This story is set in the opera world, and contrasts artistic with musical talents. I thoroughly enjoyed this extremely well narrated and well told literary mystery.Interesting Character-Driven Mystery

Where does No Mark Upon Her rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Very much worth a credit. Of the mysteries I've listened to so far, it's in the top 20 - don't ask me to narrow it down to just ten! When the ending approached, it was tidy - compiling the various clues sprinkled throughout the chapters to where it all made sense. Good character development. The world of rowing skiffs was the setting for this novel. Also included were search and rescue volunteers and their dogs - learned about handling the dogs, what training is needed, and how important a good dog is to finding the truth!What other book might you compare No Mark Upon Her to and why?
Of course other Deborah Crombie novels in the series. A bit reminiscent of Louise Penny's Inspector Gamache series except not as dark but similiar in their character development and full rich story.Have you listened to any of Gerard Doyle’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I can't remember but he was quite enjoyable.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No because I wouldn't have a job, but I certainly enjoyed it for about 3 hours a day - during my commutes and just before bed.Any additional comments?
Melody plays a key part of this story and not just because of her father. Doug is, well Doug and I rooted for him just the same. The story also continues with Charlotte becoming part of their family, and the author touches on, but doesn't preach about the bigotry and racism still around. Even Gemma's father comes around, his heart melted by the adorable Charlotte.Note to editor, leave a second's pause between scenes. It felt disjointed to be in one place then immediately into the next. Not the reader's fault but I believe mindful editing would have helped.
Gemma & Duncan emphasizing supporting cast
