Description

Hailed by The New York Times as "a master of the British Mystery", award-winning author Elizabeth George is cherished by readers on both sides of the Atlantic. Her first collection of short stories is an extraordinary offering that deftly explores the lengths to which people will go to get what they want most.

In these five original tales, George plumbs the depths of human nature as only she can. From the chilling tale of a marriage built on an appalling set of lies that only death can reveal, to the title story about a penniless schoolteacher whose ambition turns murderous, I, Richard is filled with page-turning drama and unmatched suspense.

Thanks to Inspector Thomas Lynley, a squabbling group of Anglophiles discovers a killer in its midst, but little help is on hand when a picture-perfect town is shattered by an eccentric new resident's horrifying pet project. And when a wealthy husband is haunted by suspicions about his much-younger wife, it becomes clear that a man's imagination can be his own worst enemy.

QUITE INTERESTING COLLECTION OF STORIES.

It's interesting to see the genesis for many of, and probably better known tales of this brilliant and prolific author.
I have to say that I am more than a little horrified by her admission to buying into the Richardian; putting nicely nonessential rubbish.
A quick bit of research is all that is required to cancel out any positive character traits Richardians try desperately to attribute to their hero.
It doesn't work. As an author I really have to wonder at Ms. G's gullibility, for surely research is the backbone of the all and everything.
At least it ought to be.
Granted Henry Tudor was nasty piece of work and undoubtedly a worse king than Richard III to think for one moment he was responsible for the death of the princess in the tower is ridiculous
