A Suitable Vengeance by Elizabeth George
4.0

Elizabeth George finally allows us to see Inspector Lynley at his ancestral home in "A Suitable Vengeance." But while we do learn more in this book about Lynley's family history, the story really centers on the inspector's best friend, Simon St. James. That was fine with me, as Simon is an even more compelling to me than Lynley himself. This book also breaks the narrative timeline, going back to explore Lynley's life before he was partnered with Barbra Havers. (I'd have to say that I didn't really miss Havers here; if Simon is my favorite character, she's my least favorite.) I was glad to get the backstory that explains some of the action in Book One. I just hope we haven't heard the last of Simon St. James.
