I always snap up Elizabeth George's books - I've read them all, and have loved every single one of them.
In this one, Inspector Lynley is asked to ascertain whether a drowning at a huge country estate was an accident or a murder. He is asked to do this not as an investigation, so he has to dodge around questions from his boss at the same time as he's having an affair with her. He's still recovering from the tragic loss of his wife Helen, who was expecting their child when she was shot to death in front of their home.
What I like about Elizabeth George is her ability to weave so many different stories into the plot line in such a way that you don't lose track of them, and each one of them holds your interest. She also explores family dynamics so insightfully and so deeply that it's as much a psychological thriller as anything.
As usual, I'm already looking forward to the next one. Will Barbara Havers' friend find his daughter who's been taken from him by his wife? I'll be watching!!
