Publisher Description
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.

"Be sure to read this series in order because, although each novel is a well plotted mystery, the main charm comes in the protagonists: the British detective and his assistants and their engaging stories and development. The morals, however, of the detectives are "modern,"so be warned. "

Quotes
-
“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.”
