Another great one by George! This was about Barbara and her Pakistani neighbor. She finds out he is called away to the beach to help out some family in crisis. She figures out through press releases that he is there to help his family with the murder of the future son-in-law. Since she is on leave to recover from her injuries from the last book, she decides to go to the coast and see if she can see what’s going on. She finds out, the lead investigator is someone she went to the academy with. Emily. Emily lets her in on the case and it takes off from there. This is strictly about Havers. Lynley, and Helen are on their honeymoon and St. James and Deborah do not appear. The plot revolves around the relationship between the Pakistani’s and the local British who are trying to live in harmony in this coastal town. The murder exposes true prejudices and Barbara ends up in the middle. George is a master at the mystery and suspense. Her plots are so intricate, she weaves her way to grab your attention and you are caught in the web till the end. She has become one of my favorite authors.

I love George's characters. They are all rich, deep and superb. She is one GREAT mystery writer and Deception on His Mind is one of her best!
It's a nice change that Havers gets the book pretty much to herself and proves herself without Linley.
Betty T. from WHIGHAM, GA wrote on 8/12/2008...Starts a little slow but then you hate to put it down. So many twists and turns. You won't know "who dun it" until the very end.
Contemporary English mystery with a large cast of intelligent characters. And the villian is a tough one to ferret out!
Part of a superbly written murder mystery series which takes place in England.
Another great mystery from Elizabeth George. This isn't an Inspector Lynley story but rather a Barbara Havers story...he's not in it. But you'll be one step up if you read this one before you read the next Lynley since her actions in this novel are a big part of In Pursuit of the Proper Sinner-the next one in the series.
You will hate to reach the end of this one. The author is at the t0p as a English mystery writers, and with this proves that she will there for some.
Inspector Lynley series. Good mystery, but long.
A great British, Scotland Yard mystery with Barbara Havers. This group of mysteries is one of the best.
