2/5 @thestorygraph for A Finer End, book 7 in the Kincaid & James series by Deborah Crombie. My 61st book of 2024, it dragged my average down to under 4.1/5 , thanks to my zero tolerance for mysticism & mumbo-jumbo in mysteries. I skmmed through it 90 minutes, only reading to keep up with developments in Gemma & Duncan's lives. I hope the series leaves the woo-woo behind now. #AmReading#ebooks#Kobo#Mystery@bookstodon#TheStoryGraph
@ronsboy67@thestorygraph@bookstodon I've only read the first 2 books of the series and so far it hasn't grabbed me. I wonder if the later books get better?

I have enjoyed the development of the lead characters. Not just romantically, but as individuals with their own issues. Books 3-5 were the strongest for me so far,
I'm hoping the character growth continues, as it's something that I enjoy when done well, detective characters who age in more or less real time. It's a big part of the reason why Allingham's Campion is my favourite of the Golden Age sleuths, the way hs grew as a person and changed as he aged.
