A Banquet of Consequences by Elizabeth George
4.0
Elizabeth George is such a pleasure to read. It's highly impressive that the writing standards of the Inspector Lynley series hasn't faltered and remains as good in book 19 as it did in book 1. Almost inevitably a mystery series will begin to lose it's steam. Maybe this one will at some point, but I hope not.
The mystery itself was compelling. I kept going back and forth as to what I thought had actually happened. I was correct about one motive but I ended up not guessing the killer at all. While frustrating, it is also entertaining and for me the hallmark of a great mystery - not guessing the killer.
I've already placed a library hold on book 20, being released later this month. Only 18th in line!
