A Suitable Vengeance by Elizabeth George

Started off a bit slow but in the end I loved learning about the pasts of our MCs. The murder mystery was a welcome addition, but the main focus of this story is learning how Simon, Deb and Lynley got to the point where they are in the present day. It also explained a lot of what happened in the first book at Deb and Simon's wedding.
