5.0 out of 5 stars "Exciting Series" Nov 1 2002
By John Savoy
Format:Mass Market Paperback
"Mourn Not Your Dead" by Deborah Crombie is bk-4 of this series, (a series that keeps getting better and better) the characters are well-developed, the dialogue fast-pace, and, the plot interesting...a very appealing combination.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best of the Series So far Jan 10 2002
By Mark
Format:Mass Market Paperback
After and inauspicious beginning, Crombie's Kincaid/James series improves with every book. 'Mourn Not Your Dead', 4th in the series, is as good a police procedural you're likely to find.

Crombie uses her characters and plot in some unexpected and interesting ways. This installment's victim is a senior police officer. Crombie uses this instance to shed light on the inner workings of the Met. The case is set in an English country village and Crombie uses the setting to give us a new look into English country life. The intersecting lives and loss of life in this village are presented in fresh, never predictable and, one senses, quite accurate ways.

Sometimes, mystery/crime series can be a bit like watching 'Touched by an Angel'. The formula never varies, the pace never varies, characters are predictable and two-dimensional at best. You will feel mad, glad, sad and afraid at all the usual points. This is NOT SO with Crombie's Kincaid/James series, especially installments 3 and 4.

I'm on to #5 in the series "Dreaming of the Bones" which was a NY Times Notable Book of the year when it was published -- a rare acheivement by a crime series novel. If Crombie stays on track -- and the Times's opinion indicates she has -- this should be a winner.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Book in this series. Dec 8 2003
By S. Schwartz
Format:Mass Market Paperback
At first I wasn't enjoying Gemma and Duncan Kincaid, but the series has been getting better with each entry, and this book is the best so far. My biggest complaint in the previous entries was that Duncan Kincaid seemed to be a "lame duck". In this book we find a stronger, more rounded Kincaid, and it certainly makes the book better. This is a stylish mystery done in the British procedural style. We have Duncan and Gemma investigating the brutal murder of a high-ranking police officer. The murder places them in the middle of a small English Village (Surrey). Village politics are apparent here, but there is also danger and psychological undercurrents, and before Duncan and Jemma can solve the case they are placed right in the middle of this, and at imminent danger to themselves. This is a solid police procedural.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting characters but cliche-ridden plot.
Crombie has a way with characters and with dialogue. I like Duncan and Gemma very much. Gemma's problems juggling career, motherhood and love-life ring true. Read more
