Garden of lamentations, by Deborah Crombie

 

This mystery is the 18th in a series written by Deborah Crombie that stars Detectives Duncan Kincaid and Gemma James and which is set in London. I haven't read any of the earlier books in the series, so I was jumping into the middle of characters and plot lines that carried over from earlier books. In some series, that's not a problem, but I found it hard to connect to these characters until quite a way into the narrative. This mystery follows two plot lines. One focuses on Kincaid as he investigates loose ends and suspicions from previous books in the series. Gemma is wrapped up investigating the murder of a young woman whose body was found in a garden surrounded by a block of homes where she both worked and had friends. I would suggest starting this series from the beginning.
