Another Lynley mystery that I've enjoyed reading. If you like British mysteries, this series will deliver. This particular mystery had enough twists to keep me interested and enough about the two main characters to help make them more real in my mind. Lynley and Havers have progressed in their work relationship as well as in their personal one. Both respects the other for what they bring to the team, while realizing they are very different people. Perhaps that's what I like best about this series. The fact that in real life you often do work best with someone who isn't at all like you. Not to mention that the author doesn't feel she has to resort to some "sexual tension" between the two to make their relationship interesting.

Another Lynley and Havers book. This is actually out of order, it was before Missing Joseph, but booksfree sent it later on. We learn a lot about Lynley and Helen in this book. The mystery is good too, I didn't know who it was till the end.

I think this is the best story in the series so far. Really well-written, with a lot of interesting and complex subplots.

Elizabeth George is amazing. I really enjoyed this mystery. She is one of the few authors I have come across who can write a smart mystery.
