As both Duncan and Gemma race against time to both find the missing child and to solve the various crimes, another body comes to light. Her identity actually helps to move the investigation along. Working together and with other members of their team, they slowly begin to put the various pieces together.
In A Dark House is a multi-layered story that the author keeps on track with deft plotting and fully developed characters. Crombie continues to build and expand upon Duncan and Gemma’s homelife and makes these characters feel familiar and empathetic. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and now look forward to the next one.
