In Pursuit of the Proper Sinner by Elizabeth George

5.0

Working my way through the series...and this was definitely the sequel to Deception on his Mind that I had hoped for, since I really wanted to know what would happen to Havers after her actions at the end of that book. She has been demoted and Lynley refuses to work with her on this new murder investigation (two apparently unrelated people murdered in two different ways). However, satisfyingly for those like me who really like the character, she is the successful investigator while Lynley is off in a mistaken direction. His actions lead to another death, heartbreaking! and to an examination of his own emotional state. Very satisfying.
