À propos de cet audio

To this day, the low, thin wail of an infant can be heard in Keldale's lush green valleys. Three hundred years ago, as legend goes, the frightened Yorkshire villagers smothered a crying babe in Keldale Abbey, where they'd hidden to escape the ravages of Cromwell's raiders.

Now into Keldale's pastoral web of old houses and older secrets comes Scotland Yard Inspector Thomas Lynley, the eighth earl of Asherton. Along with the redoubtable Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers, Lynley has been sent to solve a savage murder that has stunned the peaceful countryside. For fat, unlovely Roberta Teys has been found in her best dress, an ax in her lap, seated in the old stone barn beside her father's headless corpse. Her first and last words were "I did it. And I'm not sorry".

Yet as Lynley and Havers wind their way through Keldale's dark labyrinth of secret scandals and appalling crimes, they uncover a shattering series of revelations that will reverberate through this tranquil English valley - and in their own lives as well.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Spellbinding...a truly fascinating story that is part psychological suspense and part detective story." (Chicago Sun-Times)

"Pure entertainment from its insidious beginning to its gripping end." (The Washington Post Book World)

"Awesome...immediately thrusts the author into P.D. James' dark orbit." (Kirkus Reviews)

This could be George's best novel. I 've read it twice and listening was a treat. The voices and accents aren't too exaggerated - just right or maybe just a little more Yorkshire when suitable. There's an abridged version you should stay away from - with different narrator. I think in this version the narrator actually understood and liked what she read. Listening highlights George's amazing talent at developing characters, plot and beautiful prose...even describing very ugly things.
I will definitely choose Donata Peters as a narrator for another Lynley-Havers novel again.

Could be her best

I have read this novel before and being a big Elizabeth George fan, thought an audio version would be interesting during a long road trip. I was not disappointed and have created another fan for Elizabeth George in my travel partner. The narration was so good that I was not at all bothered by the use of only narrator as I have been for other audiobooks. Simply excellent. Bravo. Looking forward to the next book!

Excellent

I could not finish this story. So drawn out, so much unnecessary details. It takes several hours into the book to finally have the inspectors investigate the murder. The narrator was ok but hard to concentrate on her voice. I would not recommend this book.

Not very good
