ReviewsPraise for The Punishment She Deserves "Rich with descriptive detail and emotional nuance. Several alternating plot threads unspool at length, all of which weave tightly together with pleasing inevitability. . . . What has been said before deserves repeating: From suspense to social commentary, from violence to pathos, from villainy to possible redemption, Ms. George can do it all, with style." --Wall Street Journal "Bolstered by George's polished prose, the twentieth Lynley mystery moves briskly along, showing the author at the peak of her powers." -- Booklist (starred review), Praise for Elizabeth George Elizabeth George is a superstar of the crime-fiction world, British Inspector Division. Deservedly so: Her tales always provide nuanced character studies and insights into social issues along with their intricate mysteries. -- The Seattle Times It's tough to resist the pull of [George's] storytelling once hooked. -- USA Today Ms. George can do it all, with style to spare. -- The Wall Street Journal 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 [Lynley is] one of the great character portraits in contemporary crime fiction. --The Boston Globe

Then, while in police custody, Ian is found dead. Did he kill himself? Or was he murdered? When Barbara Havers is sent to Ludlow to investigate the chain of events that led to Ian's death, all the evidence points to suicide. But Barbara can't shake the feeling that she's missing something.

Great addition to the Lynley series
Pay attention to the first chapter and then be pulled into the story of new characters and old. It unfolds in the traditional George telling, leaving you waiting to see how it will all tie together.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
