Dreaming of the Bones Audiobook

" This is a slow-paced book that I sank deep into. The characters and their world (Scotland Yard to Cambridge) feel real, thanks to rich detail and complicated relationships. I always love the story within a story format of solving an old mystery to solve the current mystery. "

" Great plot! Real characters. Enjoyed the British context. "

" I enjoy reading Crombie's books. As the series develop so do Crombie's wrting skills. Great summer read. "

" Not my favorite plot so far and a little more language and sensuality than her past novels. Still mostly clean mystery without gore and all the other junk. Crombie's books aren't intensely suspenseful...it's more of a methodical approach to figuring out the puzzle. Obviously I keep reading them for entertainment purposes. "

" Seems to serve best to move the characters along and introduce the boy, Kit, to the set for future stories. Not a compulsive storyline. Maybe it's because poetry doesn't make enough sense to me to solve a crime by reading between the lines. "

" This book is definitely the best in the series so far. I like Crombie's writing in this book and the weaving in of letters and poems. Definitely more literary than her previous books. "

" This series is getting better; I particularly liked the literary aspects of this one. "

" Deborah crombie does not disappoint in this fun read. A little heavy on the poetry for me but interesting plot. "

" I really enjoy her style. "

" Listened to this. Really enjoyed the story, although I figured out the killer about half way through. There were enough red herrings to keep me guessing a bit. I want to read more of this series - I've read a few of them in a scattered way. "

" I enjoyed this book. It's always a delight to find out about a new series of mysteries that I enjoy. I will look forward to more in the series. "

" This series gets better and better! This one was really well done, quite literally a "literary mystery". "

" A well written mystery with a very dream-like quality to it. It is about poets after all. "

" Another great read. I couldn't wait to finish it! "

" Love her series! I am glooming all of her books. I would definately recommend these. Not much blood and gore but a great mystery! "

" This is number five in this very good series. For me it had a slow -a long slow- start but than bam! It got very good. I am glad I have about 10 more to read before I am up to date on the series. "

" Duncan Kincaid/Gemma James #5 find in audio format. "

" Took me FOREVER to get through this one, not my favorite of the Kincaid/James series, but a decent read nonetheless! "

" This book is so well-written. Atmosphere, characters, real and created historical references. The whole series is enjoyable (particularly 2-5) but it would be worth reading the whole series if only for the sake of this book. Read it! "

" Beautifully written.. best if read in sequence! "

" 5th in series. Mystery involving Duncan's ex-wife and her family. Duncan's gets involved in a cold case that his ex-wife wants him to solve. This causes great problems and death follows..... "

" I think this is the breakout book in this series. The earlier ones are good; this one is great, more complex of plot, and deeper in characterization, especially of the non-series characters. "

" Loved It. Been A While Since I Read It, Tho. "

" This is a slow-paced book that I sank deep into. The characters and their world (Scotland Yard to Cambridge) feel real, thanks to rich detail and complicated relationships. I always love the story within a story format of solving an old mystery to solve the current mystery. "

" Reasonably diverting, but I never, ever was able to ignore the narrative voice, which was relentlessly that of a literate female mystery writer. Every character spoke in the same voice, and it became distracting to me. "

" Entertaining, however with so much riding on the past and present story lines it was not quite as good as the others in the series. Had I read them in order I might not have continued with the series. "

" Dark, powerful, haunting. It also made me interested in the poetry of Rupert Brooke (and not just his war poetry), and that's no bad thing! "

" Love her series! I am glooming all of her books. I would definately recommend these. Not much blood and gore but a great mystery! "

" This is my favorite so far. Crombie handles complex stories so well. "

" This book was hard to follow but i am not a quitter by any means! ;) "

" Good mystery in an English setting. Likable main characters. "
