Dreaming of the Bones by Deborah Crombie

This is the fifth of a series of mystery novels involving two Scotland Yard investigators: Duncan Kincaid and Gemma James. The series takes place in England, this one in a small university town where a poet, Lydia Brooke, is found dead, probably from suicide, but five years after her death, a professor named Victoria McLelland, who is writing a biography of Lydia, suspects from her research that Lydia may have been murdered. Victoria is Duncan's ex-wife, and she calls him in to help her investigate. Then Victoria herself is found dead. This is a well-written literary mystery, and I'll look for subsequent books in the series. A light read, but it certainly held my interest.
