Necessary as Blood by Deborah Crombie
3.0
3 1/2 stars
I enjoyed revisiting the characters but elements of the murders weren't credible. Would a newly single father take a risk that his daughter would be left an orphan? The mother's actions weren't entire believable either. It almost felt like the author wanted to add to the Kincaid/James family and needed to find a way to get another kid in. Still, the historical and contemporary elements woven into the East London setting were interesting and the familiar characters were engaging as always.
