I loved the Combe Island setting (even though it was fictional), it was so remote, exclusive, and wildly atmospheric that it became a character itself. Dalgliesh becomes more human or relatable in each book in this series, perhaps his relationship with Emma has more to do with that aspect. This murder case involves a small cast of people on the island and was deftly plotted by the author. I admire her writing immensely and am saddened there is only one more book left in the series.

MarilynLovesNature I admire her writing, too. Hers aren't exactly cozy mysteries, I guess they are fairly psychological. Definitely unique.


MarilynLovesNature Nice review.


MarilynLovesNature I started listening to the audio and I'm a bit confused and find it difficult to follow, butI will continue. : )


Julie Durnell Thanks, Marilyn! I know I would find her books difficult to follow on audio- it’s print version for me. I hope you enjoy this one!
