Where Memories Lie

By: Deborah Crombie

Narrated by: Jenny Sterlin

New York Times best-selling author Deborah Crombie pens suspenseful English mysteries that have drawn favorable comparisons to the best of P. D. James and Ruth Rendell. Her novel Dreaming of the Bones made the Independent Mystery Booksellers of America’s list of the 100 Best Crime Novels of the 20th Century.

This time, Scotland Yard’s Duncan Kincaid and Gemma James delve into a mystery brewing since World War II.

Love the book, can’t stand the performance

I get distracted by the overdone performance. It’s like each word is over-read and it sounds like how a children’s librarian reads a fairytale. The emotion doesn’t always match the story or the person speaking. I like the male narrator she uses on some books much better.

Lovely reads

These characters have become my friends. The story is fast paced and keeps the pages turning. I do hope to finish the series. Highly recommend!

My favorite Deborah Crombie book so far!

Would you consider the audio edition of Where Memories Lie to be better than the print version?

The narrator brings so much life into the story.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Where Memories Lie?

The climax, when Jemma realized who did it.

What does Jenny Sterlin bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Because of her rang, she is able to create different voices which helped me picture the different characters. And I suspect she knows how to pronounce words, since she's English, that I don't, because I'm American.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Evil casts a long shadow.

Any additional comments?

I'm going to read or listen (or both) all of Deborah Crombie's books.

One of the best

I have enjoyed getting to know Duncan and Gemma in earlier books, but so far I like this one best.

Excellent plot!

Enjoyed very much, well written with twists and turns. My favorite accent was Erika…I’m sure it was because she had a delightful German accent and reminded me of my late mother! Love the Gemma stories!!
