Believing the Lie by Elizabeth George
5.0
Yea!! Just found out I'll be getting a FirstReads copy of the latest Inspector Lynley mystery! Can't wait!!! :)
And now, the review...
It took me a bit longer than anticipated to finish my FirstReads ARC edition but that is only because I wanted to finish "Believing the Lie" first. I figured it would have storyline developments that factored in to this one (it did, of course!). In the latest installment of the Inspector Lynley series, we have Lynley back on the force but tasked with an undercover assignment. The assignment has an impact on those closest to him as much as it has on those he is investigating in Cumbria. Strained relationships are everywhere. As usual, Elizabeth George provides complex stories and sub-stories that draw you in and make it impossible to put the book down. I was grateful for the chapters that featured Havers for a bit of comic relief since portions of this book were particularly dark. It offers some surprising twists, as well as some disturbing ones. Thanks to Goodreads FirstReads again for my early Christmas present...it was truly a treat! I can't wait to find out what happens next with Lynley and Havers based on how this one ended!!
