Product Description

 
In this gripping Thomas Lynley/Barbara Havers mystery, the duo must solve the savage murder of Elena Weaver, a student at St. Stephen's College, Cambridge. When the detectives begin investigating the brutal slaying--perpetrated on an extremely foggy morning while the victim was out running--they begin to uncover the facts about Elena's tense relationship with her father, a well-to-do academic, and the mutual dislike between Elena and her cold stepmother. They also find a string of possible lovers, all of whom could be suspects. This is the fifth book in the stirring psychological series.

Date of Review:  Jun 23, 2000
Review: Elizabeth George writes a slow build that packs a mighty wallop once again in this mystery featuring her regular characters Inspector Lynley and Sgt. Havers.

As usual, what makes her books so EPIC in comparison to the modern fluff mystery...
