Format:Paperback
Yet another superb crime mystery by George, this book also offers a new insight into familiar characters. Set earlier in time than her other novels, this book tells you what really happened between Lynley and Deborah, St James and Lady Helen, and why it is taking them so many books to sort through the baggage. You learn more about Lynley, and why he is who he is, and see him working under pressure as disaster threatens his home and family. This book stands on its own as a fascinating mystery/novel, but contains many added bonuses for avid George fans. These characters are real.

Elizabeth George is true to form in this Inspector Lynley mystery with yet another gripping plot. Tommy becomes involved in a brutal murder involving people he knew as a child and who now turn to him, as the Earl of the local manor house, for help. The story reveals more about DI Lynley and his troubled family history as well as bringing the reader right up to date with his relationships with his mother and his brother. The familiar faces of Simon, Deborah and Lady Helen play supporting roles and the descriptions of the breathttaking Cornish scenery contribute to the dramatic atmosphere.

Why oh why does Book Junkie bother to write reviews. This is actually the first book in the Inspector Lynley series but was the fourth one to be published. I have lent the books to many friends and we have all become hooked. It sets the scene for the following books and is a delightful gripping read which I would recommend to anyone. The television series is disappointing and sadly miscast and I would advise anyone who has seen them to put them out of their mind. Kathy Burke would make a good Sergeant Havers, I've always thought!

Nice reading as usual with E. George. For once, we're taken outside of London for most of the book, in Lynley's family. Gripping mystery.

very disappointing
Unfortunately, George is trying to mix here a sad love story of insp. Lynley and his Deborah with a crime story. Read more

This is the first Elizabeth George novel I have read and, on this effort, I would struggle to give myself a reason repeat this experience. Read more

Consistently Inaccurate
Why oh why doesn't someone tell Ms George that the Metropolitan Police do NOT send detectives all over the country to investigate murders. Read more

Disappointing
I found this book very disappointing, lacking a sense of location (which is partially why I bought it, coming from Cornwall) and with cliched characters. Read more
