| Book flap summary |
Retrieved this off my Books To Be Read Shelf. Printed in 1999 but one I'd found maybe a year ago at a book sale. 596 pages , timeless writing. I have read nearly all of her books over the years and not for quite some time. This one, as many, focuses on the crime solving by Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley, subordinate Barbra Havers, another subordinate Winston Nkita, all of New Scotland yard, Lynley's wife, and Simon St. James, expert forensics retired. Familiar characters but introduction of new ones, Andy Malden retired Scotland Yard who requests Lynley's assistance in solving the murder of his daughter Nicole. A very well written mystery with sub plots of captivating intrigue throughout. Including that Barbara Havers has been demoted for disobeying direct orders from a superior in a judgement call she made to save the life of a child, her neighbor. The ending is a twister.
