À propos de cet audio

Macavity Award-winning author Deborah Crombie paints a vivid portrait of England's seedy underbelly in Necessary as Blood.

On a beautiful Sunday afternoon in mid May, a young mother, Sandra Gilles, leaves her daughter with a friend at the Columbia Road Flower Market and disappears. Shortly thereafter, her husband, a Pakistani lawyer, is killed. Scotland Yard detective Gemma James happens upon the scene in time to witness the investigator making a mistake.

When Duncan and his trusted sergeant, Doug Cullen, see Gemma's name in the report, they decide to take the case. Working together again, Gemma, Duncan, Doug, and Melody Talbot must solve it before the murderer can get his hands on the real prize, Naz and Sandra's daughter.

But just as the case grows more dangerous, a personal issue threatens to throw Gemma and Duncan off the trail. In the end, it is up to them to stop a vicious killer and protect the child whose fate hangs in the balance.

I admire how the threads of this book are woven together. Interesting plotting though not terribly surprising and of course the characters are appealing. I do find Gemma verging on Sainthood sometimes. I very much enjoyed the information throughout the book about Notting Hill and surrounds- very evocative and full of detail. I would recommend this book.

I love each and every one of these stories, but this story was so moving.
I look forward to each new one with such great enthusiasm.

Wonderful!

Not keen on the way Duncan was portrayed. He sounded too arrogant, superior and posh, not the down to earth, sensitive detective from Middlewich.

Loved the convoluted story

When you find yourself focusing more on the narrator’s performance and less on the story, you know there’s a problem. This narrator makes all of the characters sound like boorish snobs. I can’t quite figure out what her intention was, but I can’t listen to this novel. I love Crombie’s books, but in this case the narration is so awful, I had to get a refund.
