Publisher's summary

A crime of passion strikes close to home when Gemma and her best friend, Hazel Cavendish, travel to Scotland, a land of mists and fine whiskey, of hidden pasts and dangerous secrets, or so Gemma discovers when an unexpected meeting with Hazel's old flame yields shocking—and mortal—consequences.

Hazel is the logical suspect, but Gemma knows nothing is simple in this place of secrets and long-seething hatreds. As even more damning evidence piles up against the friend Gemma never truly knew, the investigation takes a darker, more sinister turn. Gemma knows she will need assistance to unravel this bloody knot. And so she calls the one man she can trust, Duncan Kincaid, to join her far from home and in harm's way.

Meh

Sometimes Ms. Crombie paints her women offensively simplistic. Our heroine is so hot-headed and reactionary, she seems very immature to me. Why would a dish like Duncan Kincaid bother with her, I find myself wondering. And every story leans heavily on the preconception that men never acknowledge the competence of women. As for dialogue, most suspects spend a lot of time braying, “but Inspector, you can’t think that I killed him!!.....blah, blah, blah.” These timeworn devices are tiresome to me, and really differentiate the literary writers from the pulp fiction writers. Because that is what this is — fodder for the recycle bin. Too bad, because the story was good, and descriptions of the beauty of Scotland are travel-inspiring.

Very enjoyable Audiobook. Recommended.

Excellent Audiobook, brilliantly narrated by Michael Deehy who has a talent for different accents. I originally read the hardback version, but Mr. Deehy’s skilled narration improved my appreciation and rating. Love the moodier setting in Scotland and a Highlands distillery, which included a refresher about single-malt Scotch whisky. Whilst reading I couldn’t resist sipping my favorite, “cult classic” Scotch whisky, sherry cask.

My favorite so far

I am enjoying this series though I skipped those that weren’t narrated my Michael Deehy. This complexity of this story as well as the historical information was great.

A Favorite

This is a third reading over many years’ time. I actually thought I remembered who did it and I was wrong. I enjoyed all the backstories, the Scottish location and, really, everything about it.

Like a smooth dram of whiskey…. Down the hatch!

Loved this story and of course the voice over of old friends narrated by Michael Deehy, as he brings Gemma and Kincaid back to the party. Some new characters & some old familiars again brought the past and present together. Smashing!

The narrator is great

I really enjoy the author’s writing style. I appreciate the narrator and his cadence. It’s a plus when the same narrator is used throughout a series; especially when it’s a job well done.

Best one yet!

I am enjoying this series more than I ever thought I would and Now May You Weep was the best so far. Mr. Deehy’s performance, as always, was brilliant!

I’m starting to get tired of this series

Without giving too much away, I have to admit I’m in awe of two people who can move two households into one in a 48 hour period and then go out to a fancy dinner on the second night, leaving their kids at home in a strange house with no babysitter. I like the narrator, but I’m probably done with this series.

Excellent story and performance

Loved the imagery of the Highlands and well woven past and present story lines. The performance was flawless and added such depth and richness to the story. My favorite Kincaid and James so far.

Very interesting mystery

The jumping in time trope is not a favorite of mine. It was well done, but it still took away from the story sometimes, at least to me. Some of the character changes also saddened me, but I still found myself caught up in the mystery.
