Water Like a Stone by Deborah Crombie

Title: Water Like a Stone
Author: Deborah Crombie
Did I listen or read?: read a paperback purchased from Baybooks while hiking the Amalfi Coast and staying at Due Torre in Agerola
When did I finish?: July 20, 2011
When was the book published: 2007
Main Characters: Detective Superintendent Thomas Kincaid lives with Sargeant Gemma James and his son Kit and their son Toby, and go to spend Christmas with Hugh and Rosemary Kincaid, his parents, and Caspar Newcombe, Piers Duttons partner and the husband of Hugh's sister Juliet who has started her own construction business and discovers a baby buried in the wall. Annie Lebow is on her boat, and runs into the Wain family who live on a boat and have problems of their own.
What happens? see above. very long and complicated like an Elizabeth George novel.
How long was this? 388 pages
Did I like this? ok, well done, but way too long.
Overall grade: B- - good story, but too many sub plots, too many characters, too much soap opera. Not sure if I will read another one of these
