Book Review: Where Memories Lie by Deborah Crombie (Duncan Kincaid and Gemma James #12)

Where Memories Lie Where Memories Lie by Deborah Crombie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3 1/2 stars rounded up to 4 stars. This is the 12th book in the Duncan Kincaid and Gemma James series set in London. One of Gemma's friends, a Jewish refugee from Germany during the war, discovers that a valuable jewelry piece created by her father and stolen during the war has come up for auction. Gemma and Duncan work together to determine where it came from and also to solve several murders.

The story line is actually set in two different time periods - 1952 and present day. It was difficult to determine which time period I was reading especially because one character figured in both time periods. I can imagine that if I were listening to the audio book it would be even more confusing.
