Gemma and Duncan are extremely appealing, the writing is great, and the descriptions really take you there. However, as excited as I was to discover that I had not yet read this latest in the series, I have to admit that I was a bit disappointed. I was not personally that interested in narrow boats, so that whole plot line left me a little cold. Also, I agree with the reviewer who commented that there just wasn't enough Gemma and Duncan in this one...most of the book was about Duncan's family and the police force in Duncan's home town with our favorite (and still unmarried) couple taking a back seat. I also thought the whole story line with Lally and Kit was a bit far-fetched. Regarding Kit, I hope future novels will show him getting counseling considering the poor kid has now personally discovered two bodies including his mother's. The odds of something like that happening have to be pretty high.
