Book Description:
Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley
takes on the case of his career.
When it comes to spellbinding suspense and page-turning excitement, New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth George always delivers. As the Wall Street Journal raves, "Ms. George can do it all, with style to spare."
In With No One as Witness, Elizabeth George has crafted an intricate, meticulously researched, and absorbing story sure to enthrall her readers. Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley is back, along with his longtime partner, the fiery Barbara Havers, and newly promoted Detective Sergeant Winston Nkata. They are on the hunt for a sinister killer.
When an adolescent boy's nude body is found mutilated and artfully arranged on the top of a tomb, it takes no large leap for the police to recognize this as the work of a serial killer. This is the fourth victim in three months but the first to be white.
Hoping to avoid charges of institutionalized racism in its failure to pursue the earlier crimes to their conclusion, New Scotland Yard hands the case over to Lynley and his colleagues. The killer is a psychopath who does not intend to be stopped. Worse, a devastating tragedy within the police ranks causes them to fumble in their pursuit of him.

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.

For those who like suspenseful mysteries, Elizabeth George is excellent! Great writing ability shown through this book. Unpredictable!
Inel T. from LYNN, MA wrote on 6/2/2008...Unbelievable. This book is really thick, I finished it in 3 days. I absolutely could not put it down. Tremendous book
Susan T. (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.
Jay C. (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.
