Now May You Weep: A Dark Highland Mystery of Forbidden Love and Murder Among Rival Whiskey Families (Duncan Kincaid/Gemma James Novels, 9)

A lethal crime of passion darkens the mists of Scotland's legendary Highlands Newly appointed Detective Inspector Gemma James has never questioned her friend Hazel Cavendish about her past. So it is quite a shock when Gemma learns that their holiday retreat to the Scottish Highlands is, in fact, Hazel's homecoming—and that fellow hotel guest Donald Brodie was once Hazel's lover, despite a vicious, long-standing feud between their rival fine-whiskey-distilling families. And the fires of a fierce and passionate affair may not have burned out completely—on Brodie's part, at least, since he's prepared to destroy Hazel's marriage to win her back. But when a sudden, brutal murder unleashes a slew of dark secrets and long- seething hatreds, putting Hazel's life in peril, Gemma knows she will need help unraveling this very bloody knot—and calls on the one man she trusts more than any other, Scotland Yard Superintendent Duncan Kincaid, to join her far from home . . . and in harm's way. “Crombie keeps this series on its toes with her smooth procedural techniques and engagingly eccentric characters.” - New York Times Book Review “Crombie has mastered the genre of Agatha Christie.” - Commonwealth Journal Praise for Leave the Grave Green “... tidily plotted and neatly written... The genuine article.” - Kirkus Reviews “Crombie’s Scotland Yard Superintendent Duncan Kincaid and his sergeant Gemma James make a welcome return... the passages of the first drowning are haunting, the mystery is intriguing, the characters are well developed and the solution satisfies. Stay tuned.” - Publishers Weekly “This deliberate, finely-tuned procedural works on every level... Leave the Grave Green is steady, absorbing and finely detailed at every turn. The true scene stealer is the glittering necklace of tiny English villages, so rich in history, so full of eccentrics, and of course, so deeply involved in murder.” - Mostly Murder A lethal crime of passion darkens the mists of Scotland's legendary Highlands Newly appointed Detective Inspector Gemma James has never questioned her friend Hazel Cavendish about her past.
