Sixth in the series about Scotland Yard detectives Duncan Kincaid and Gemma James. A new reader could pick up the series here, but there has been a major development in the last book, so reading it first might help with the relationships. The theme in this book is all about betrayal: husbands and wives betraying each other, parents betraying children, children betraying parents. Kincaid and James are assigned to the case of a beautiful woman, the heir and manager of a famous tea company, who's been found dead in a park. She seemingly had everything, but as they learn more it seems she had some not-so-beautiful character traits. But there are issues here which reach a long ways back, back into the days of WWII, and are told in flashbacks. Kincaid is also attempting to build a relationship with the son he never knew he had, and it's not going that well. Lots of info about London's Docklands, and the Isle of Dogs, nicely inserted into the story.
