A new and highly anticipated Inspector Lynley TV series releasing this fall from BritBox

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. Mystery Police Procedurals Traditional Detectives Detective

I was not happy with the narrative of the victim. He was a despicable human being and although the narrative was somewhat benign, my dislike for him grew as his story unfolded.

I’ve read quite a few books in this series… this one is not one of my favourites. This is the first time as an audiobook.

This for me was the absolute best Lynley novel because I experienced it via Audible. It was like a play and so well performed. Bravo.

Best yet!
