A Bitter Feast (Audiobook Online) Duncan Kincaid/Gemma James Novels, Book 18

A Bitter Feast is the 18th book in the Duncan Kincaid/Gemma James series written by Deborah Crombie. The novel was published in 2019 and follows the lives of the two main characters, Detective Superintendent Duncan Kincaid and his wife, Detective Inspector Gemma James, as they navigate a complex murder investigation while also dealing with personal challenges.

The story is set in the picturesque Cotswolds region of England, known for its charming villages and beautiful landscapes. Duncan and Gemma are invited to a weekend getaway at Beck House, a renowned restaurant owned by celebrity chef Viv Holland. The occasion is a charity luncheon organized by Viv’s friend, Lady Vespasia Cumming-Gould, a well-known socialite.


However, what was supposed to be a relaxing weekend quickly turns into a murder investigation when one of the guests, Paul Fry, is found dead in the kitchen garden. Paul was a food critic known for his scathing reviews, and it becomes apparent that he had made many enemies within the culinary world.

As Duncan and Gemma delve into the case, they discover a web of secrets and rivalries among the chefs and restaurateurs present at Beck House. Each character has their own motives and potential connections to the crime. The investigation takes them from high-end restaurants to local pubs, uncovering long-held grudges and hidden scandals.

Meanwhile, Duncan and Gemma also face personal challenges. Gemma’s mother has recently moved in with them after her husband’s death, adding strain to their already busy lives. Duncan is dealing with professional pressures as he faces potential promotion opportunities within the police force.

Throughout the novel, Crombie skillfully weaves together multiple storylines, exploring themes of ambition, jealousy, and family dynamics. The characters are well-developed and relatable, each with their own flaws and strengths. The author’s attention to detail brings the Cotswolds setting to life, immersing the reader in its beauty and charm.
