With No One As Witness - Inspector Lynley, Bk 13
Author: Elizabeth George
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 a...  more », 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.

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 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.
