Thrilling and shocking! Taking the fantastic Inspector Lynley series to a whole new level. Friends have been endlessly talking about the very unexpected twist at the end, but I had to read it to believe it. Ms. George doesn't let up the pace for a moment. If this is your first read in the series, go back to the beginning and read every one. You won't be disappointed! They are all excellent. The TV versions are a poor comparison and don't do the books justice.

I picked this book up before a recent business trip because I'd seen the Inspector Lynley mysteries on PBS. The author writes a tight, gripping mystery and suspense novel that kept me "on the edge of my seat." The characters are intriguing and the story is well plotted. This is a must-read, especially for readers who enjoy fine crime novels.

I am a fan of mystery writer Elizabeth George. This book is a British mystery with Scotland Yard super sleuth and royaly born Thomas Lynley and his side kick,Sgt Havers. It is a great "who done it" that keeps you guessing up to the end.

I just couldn't get into this book at all - it's very British and so much of the conversations and referrals were in British slang. I've read British authors often before, so I wonder if some books get "Americanized" before they are published across the pond. When there are some British slag in context I can decipher no problem, but this book made me feel like I was trying to read something in a foreign language!

I'm in love with Elizabeth George's characters and every book has something to offer. To a mystery reader she keeps each one fresh with excellent writing.

An excellent writer tells an excellent story - but her books are l-o-n-g. Nearly 800 pages. For that reason I usually avoid her books, but they are good to sit down with on a chilly evening by the fire.

One of the, if not the, longest of the series. It was breathtaking. One that I thought about for days after. The ending was totally unexpected, something I seldom say.

I read this book out of sequence - I read What Came Before he Shot Her first. Amazingly it didnt matter. The two tragic stories blend together no matter which way they are read. George writes in a way to really pull you into the world of her stories and of course I cried when Helen died - it really didnt seem fair at all. But then when you know the story of the child who shot her - his life didnt seem very fair either. I hope George will pick up at least some of this story in a subseqent book.

An Inspector Lynley book. Lots of characters right up to the end. Intriguing, twisting. Angered some of Eliz. George's long-time readers when she killed off a beloved character.

Really good, but really important to have read the other books in the series before you get to this one - that way you will be emotionally involved with the various recurring characters in the Inspector Lynley series. As usual, this is very well-written in the typical Elizabeth George style, however a little part of me hated this book at the end.

I really enjoyed this book. I am not sure I like what the author decided to do in the life of one of the characters, but it was still a gripping story. I will be really interested to see what happens when she follows up with Lynley/Havers/Simon/Deborah.

I enjoyed this book on a flight all the way home from Germany. I especially liked DS Barbara Havers in this novel and am hoping she plays parts in the later novels.
The police never suspected a serial killer was at large until they found the fourth murdered boy --- the first white victim --- his body draped over a tomb in a London graveyard. Detective Superintendent Thomas Lynley has been assigned to the investigation along with his disgraced partner, Babara Havers."

This was a FABULOUS book with several surprise twists. It took me a little to get started, but once I got going I couldn't put it down. This is by far George's BEST Lynley/Havers book

"Gripping...Shocking...Courageous...George shows us the seamy underside of London as well as the depths of evil within some human souls." - Winston-Salem Journal
Elizabeth George's aristocratic Scotland Yard detective Thomas Lynley and his working-class partner Barbara Havers go up against a serial killer -- a case which turns into a publicity nightmare when the police only figure out they're dealing with a serial killer after the fourth body is found. The fourth body -- but the first white victim...

Several years back, I tackled this series of books and found that they annoyed me immensely, so I put them aside.
Recently, I began reading them again, and found that, either I have changed, or the series has evolved, because I'm hooked now.
The characters seem to have matured and mellowed out - or, maybe, I have. Whatever, I'm glad to have rediscovered them, and find this particular novel to be excellent.
Back to catching up with Lynley and Havers.

Author Elizabeth George returns to the top of her form with this latest entry in the Inspector Lynley series. Havers - still smarting from her demotion - and Lynley team up again, with the active participation of newly promoted Winston Nkata, to find a serial killer who is targeting young street boys. The pressures of political posturing and media hype-ing of the possible racial overtones of the crimes, add increased dangers to everyone involved. A stunning finish.

I was thrilled when I got this book. I love English mysteries. This book, the first Elizabeth George novel, I've read is awful to me. I made it to page 60 until I put it down. Sixty pages of a woman inspector whining because she was dropped in rank. Maybe the first 60 pages are suppose to bore you. Also maybe I'm not giving it a chance? But, so far, I hate it so bad that the only time I would think of picking it back up is when I run out of books to read.

Unbelievable. This book is really thick, I finished it in 3 days. I absolutely could not put it down. Tremendous book
Murders of young boys without families taking place in London. Inspector Lynley must catch the killer.
I enjoyed this Inspector Lynley mystery.
Excellent read. Keeps you awake..........
Classic Elizabeth George and Inspector Lynley. This is one book series I believe to be better than the PBS Mystery series.
Another absorbing Elizabeth George. Sad times for Thomas Lynley in this one.
