A review by smallness
Necessary as Blood by Deborah Crombie

4.0

I probably wouldn't have bought this book if it hadn't been for a Barnes and Noble gift certificate I had laying around . . . while her books will always hold a place in my heart, especially the first few, the last two or three have been not as good, and I was starting to wonder if she was going to wind this series down. I'm happy, though, that this one turned out to be much better than I had expected - despite some of the cliches that turned up, I still really enjoy how natural the whole book feels, how the female lead still occasionally figures out the twists before the male lead does, and how it makes me want to visit London. So, good book.
