What to expect

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.

Critics Review

  • “Though part of a series, this mystery is a superb stand-alone novel…Suspense and careful sleuthing form the quintessential whodunit and provide nonstop entertainment.”

    RT Book Reviews (4 stars)

  • “Written with compassion, clarity, wit and precision, this graceful mystery amply fulfills the promise of Crombie’s debut novel…The clues finally click into place and reveal the culprit.”

    Publishers Weekly

  • “Respects all the conventions of the police procedural subgenre but still manages to seem fresh and lively…This is an extremely satisfying procedural with good plotting and excellent characterizations.”

    Booklist

  • “[It’s the] firm portraits of even minor characters that make this linger in the memory.”

    Kirkus Reviews

  • “Michael Deehy’s solemn voice provides a courtly eloquence to Deborah Crombie’s moody police procedural…His performance gives multiple dimensions to each of the possible suspects…[and] allows Crombie’s subtle clues to reveal themselves in ordinary, completely human ways. He is nicely understated as Duncan and Gemma’s connection deepens and the mystery slowly unfolds.”
