Deborah Crombie Omnibus (2 Books In 1)

Two books in one volume. A SHARE IN DEATH: A week's holiday in a luxurious Yorkshire time-share is just what Scotland Yard's Superintendent Duncan Kincaid needs. But the discovery of a body floating in the whirlpool bath ends his vacation before it's begun. One of his new acquaintances at Followdale House is dead; another is a killer. The stakes are raised dramatically when a second murder occurs, and Kincaid and his young assistant Gemma James find themselves in a determined hunt for a fiendish felon who enjoys homicide a bit too much. ALL SHALL BE WELL: Perhaps it is a blessing when Jasmine Dent dies in her sleep. At long last an end has come to the suffering of a body horribly ravaged by disease. It may well have been suicide; she had certainly expressed her willingness to speed the inevitable. But small inconsistencies lead her neighbour, Superintendent Duncan Kincaid of Scotland Yard, to a startling conclusion: Jasmine Dent was murdered. But if not for mercy, why would someone destroy a life already so fragile and doomed? As Kincaid and his capable and appealing assistant Sergeant Gemma James sift through the dead woman's strange history, a troubling puzzle begins to take shape - a bizarre amalgam of good and evil, of charity and crime . . . and of the blinding passions that can drive the human animal to perform cruel and inhuman acts.
