About this ebook
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.
Michael Lobb has just been found dead on the floor of his family’s tin & pewter workshop. It’s suspicious enough that his body was found by a representative of Cornwall EcoMining, a company keen on acquiring his family’s land, and it’s made even worse when he’s revealed to have been the majority owner of the business and the sole obstacle preventing a deal from being made. But it doesn’t take long for Inspector Beatrice Hannaford to unearth the layers of estrangement that surrounded Michael in his final days, pointing suspicions elsewhere. In comes Kayla, a young woman half Michael’s age, who has just been made his widow.
Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley and Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers are brought in to help solve the crime and search for justice in a community where lust, greed, and family traditions collide with devastating consequences.

I'm a huge fan of Elizabeth George and I've been waiting a year for the release of this novel. I even pre-ordered it and counted down the days until its release. I'll say that this is the first time I've ever been disappointed in an Elizabeth George story. I waited for the great reveal of the sudden shock as the story turned, but none of that ever happened. The reader is told from very early on who the murderer is and the reader is also left to assume that there's more to the character's story which all turns out to be true

It IS a Lynley and Havers book. No sample read. Buy it, stick with it. Fascinating study of innocence, guilt, manipulation at it's most evil & the sometimes failure of justice. Worth every penny, and as usual I was sorry to reach the final page.
