Download 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! "

" Another great book in the mystery series starring Supt.Duncan Kincaid and his partner in policing and life, Gemma James. This whodunit kept me wondering to the very last chapter, and I'm hooked on knowing what will happen next with Kincaid and his newly-discovered son. "

" 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. "
