À propos de cet audio

#1 New York Times bestselling author of A Banquet of Consequences Elizabeth George delivers another masterpiece of suspense in her Inspector Lynley series: a gripping child-in-danger story that tests Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers like never before.

Barbara is at a loss: The daughter of her friend Taymullah Azhar has been taken by her mother, and Barbara can’t really help—Azhar had never married Angelina, and his name isn’t on their daughter’s, Hadiyyah’s, birth certificate. He has no legal claim. Azhar and Barbara hire a private detective, but the trail goes cold.

Azhar is just beginning to accept his soul-crushing loss when Angelina reappears with shocking news: Hadiyyah is missing, kidnapped from an Italian marketplace. The Italian police are investigating, and the Yard won’t get involved, until Barbara takes matters into her own hands—at the risk of her own career.

As both Barbara and her partner, Inspector Thomas Lynley, soon discover, the case is far more complex than a typical kidnapping, revealing secrets that could have far-reaching effects outside of the investigation. With both her job and the life of a little girl on the line, Barbara must decide what matters most, and how far she’s willing to go to protect them.

Ce que les critiques en disent

Praise for Believing the Lie:

"A multiplicity of subplots and a richness of physical detail...The terrain and the weather are objective correlatives to the characters' stormy patches. Meanwhile, the story strands are untied and retied in satisfying and often moving ways." —The Wall Street Journal

"Elizabeth George is a superstar of the crime-fiction world, British Inspector Division. Deservedly so: Her tails always provide nuanced character studies and insights into social issues along with their intricate mysteries." —The Seattle Times

"Devilishly complicated." —Entertainment Weekly

"A dense, twisty plot with characters who reveal the sad spectrum of human dereliction." —People

"George's...ability to continually enhance the portraits of Lynley, Havers, and other recurring characters while generating fully fleshed new ones for each novel is nothing less than superlative, and her atmospheric prose, complete with lovely and detailed descriptions of her setting, combines to add literary gravitas to her work....A worthy addition to her portfolio and one that simultaneously disturbs and satisfies." —Richmond Times-Dispatch

“This is one of her best.” – Daily American on Believing the Lie

“George’s many fans…will be thrilled with this new episode in the lives of her lovable cast of characters.” – Library Journal on Believing the Lie

Believing the Lie is so fascinating that even at a thundering 606 pages, I wished for at least 10 more.” – Mystery Scene on Believing the Lie

“A worthy addition to her portfolio and one that simultaneously disturbs and satisfies.” – Richmond Times Dispatch on Believing the Lie

I have listened to almost all of E George’s books and enjoyed them, however this book got on my nerves. The repeating of full names and titles grew tedious as did the detailed repetitive geographical descriptions. And the amount of Italian was ridiculous and substantially detracted from my enjoyment of this novel. It’s unfortunate that these faults occur as I feel Barbara became more fully realized as a character and she is my favourite. On to the next with fingers crossed .

I found so many things in this book irritating

I love Elizabeth George but found this a long & difficult read. Italian & english names, places & conversation mixed in an overly log repetitive story.

Difficult read.
