Although I don't find the actual mysteries in this series very suspenseful or compelling, I can overlook that shortcoming because the author does such a great job developing the characters. For me, plot is always less important than complex, well-developed characters. Crombie does not let us down in this installment in the Kincaid/James series. Outside of the mystery, Duncan continues to struggle in his relationship with Kit and Gemma spreads her wings a bit.
