Description

An Instant New York Times Bestseller!
 
Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers and Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley are back in the next Lynley novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth George.

When a police detective is taken off life support after falling into a coma, only an autopsy reveals the murderous act that precipitated her death. She'd been working on a special task force within North London's Nigerian community, and Acting Detective Superintendent Thomas Lynley is assigned to the case, which has far-reaching cultural associations that have nothing to do with life as he knows it. In his pursuit of a killer determined to remain hidden, he's assisted by Detective Sergeants Barbara Havers and Winston Nkata. They must sort through the lies and the secret lives of people whose superficial cooperation masks the damage they do to one another.

    I’m not usually a reader of Elizabeth George and I certainly won’t be again. If there ever was a book written to meet a goal of a certain, large, number of words this is it. It’s like stone soup except the outcome of the numerous ingredients in this case is not tasty. I’ll give Ms. Georgia something; she kept me skimming through the pages to discover the denouement of the various threads she had woven for the characters to follow. More fool me, I should have stopped reading it.
  • Too many words

    Plodding, slow moving. So many disconnected storylines (that I hope get connected). I couldn’t stay awake to finish it. And I tried 'cause I really have loved her books.
  • Ready for the next Lynley series book!!

    I have read all the Inspector Lynley books by Elizabeth George. This last book was the best of them all—and I have loved each book.

    Very difficult topic (female mutilation) plus murder. Not easy topics but very informative for the un-informed

    I’ve read all the Detective Lynley books. I found this book equally well written, but the storyline terribly uninteresting.
  • Way too long

    Too much about heat! Too much about Havers. Too many plot threads! Needed to be about 300 pages shorter! A shame as the main plot thread was important! And hate to say it but getting tired of Tommy! The guy needs to man up!

    Interesting characters and story. Kudos to Elizabeth George for shining a light on FGM. I had never heard or knew about this subject until reading this book. Although the subject matter is disturbing, the book is a good murder mystery. I thoroughly enjoyed the book, especially the ending. They should make a movie from this book.
  • Not my favorite

    Very long and meandering. Could be a couple hundred pages less and lose nothing. And I like long books if the writing is worthwhile. I’ve read most all in the series and like the characters generally. But not so much in this book. And I’d like Daidre to be gone. Can’t believe he’s wrapped in her.
