review 1: I've been reading this series in random order. In this one Gemma and Duncan are planning their wedding, but Gemma just wants to be married, and finds wedding planning stressful.Meanwhile in Brick Lane, textile artist Sandra Gilles is working on a new piece that gets her wondering about the girls and women in her neighbourhood and she leaves her young daughter with a friend, but never returns. A few months later, her husband Naz steps out for a couple of hours and disappears. Gemma happens to be a friend to a friend and becomes involved. When his body is found, the pathologist suspects foul play and the case is referred to Scotland Yard. There, Duncan notes Gemma's involvement and takes on the case.But Gemma finds herself involved in a more personal way as she has taken to ... moreCharlotte, the small 3 year-old daughter of Sandra and Naz and is determined that she be protected and properly looked after.I like the mix of the personal and professional in this series, seeing how the two detectives both work together and live their lives together.This case with its unmasking of those who prey on the vulnerable in society is a compelling one, and I could barely put the book down.
review 2: I strongly recommend this book and actually the whole series. The story is interesting with a good plot. The main characters Gemma and Duncan are lovely and we get to know them better in each book. There are other characters that come and go that are wonderful too. Although there is a love relation between the main characters these are not novels too full of love and sex but with enough personal details to make the lovable. Wonderful book, great characters and very good plot. less
