Believing the Lie
Believing the Lie: A Lynley Novel | Elizabeth George
10 posts | 17 read | 1 reading | 6 to read
Is it an accident? Or murder? Inspector Thomas Lynley is mystified when hes sent undercover to investigate the death of Ian Cresswell at the request of the mans uncle, wealthy and influential Bernard Fairclough. The death has been ruled an accidental drowning, and nothing on the surface indicates otherwise. But when Lynley enlists the help of his friends Simon and Deborah St. James, the trios digging soon reveals that the Fairclough clan is awash in secrets, lies, and motives. As the investigation escalates, the Fairclough familys veneer cracks, with deception and self-delusion threatening to destroy everyone from the Fairclough patriarch to the troubled son Ian left behind.

Another intriguing and confusing addition to the series. Confusing, in a good way, as you're never sure what will happen next. Lots of character development for Lynly and Havers as well.

Elizabeth George has a Whiskey🐾💖🥃! This is a 610 page tome #17 in the Inspector Lynley mysteries. Lots of subplots in this one- not much mystery but as always she has characters and places down pat. Major theme is children- wanting them, not wanting them, hurting them, loving them, overprotecting them and losing them. #Booked2018 read a book over 600pages @jessberk13

My next commute listen - Davina Porter always does an excellent job of narration on the Lynley mysteries!

AlaMich I recently listened to her narrate two MC Beaton books and thought she did a great job. She made the books more fun than they would have been otherwise. 7y

#FunFridayPhoto Elizabeth George can always be counted on to publish a big book. There's a few authors that always write doorstops of books, Karin Slaughter, Robert Jordan, Stephen King & Kate Morton are a few others. I love me a big book. If a book is tiny, it's over too quickly, I read too fast to appreciate a small novel. The bigger it is, the longer I get to immerse myself in the story.

LeahBergen I'm with you there. I love big books. ❤ 8y

It was a little slow at first, but once the story started picking up, I couldn't put it down. This is the first book in this series that I have read. I will definitely read more. #mystery #series

Next up in crime is Elizabeth George who writes the Inspector Lynley series. Thomas Lynley is a peer of the realm, who's turned his back on his rich upbringing to become a detective at Scotland Yard. Along with Sergeant Barbra Havers, they investigate murders all over the U.K. Huge fan of this,5⭐️

JulieAnn I think you may be my book soulmate! Lynley is one of my all time favorite detectives. Oddly enough, I read What Came Before He Shot Her first and then found the series and started at the beginning. Have you ever read the Deborah Crombie series about Duncan Kincaid and Gemma James? They are amazing 8y
Lizpixie @JulieAnn thanks! I have the first book in that series on my TBR pile. Is it good? 8y
JulieAnn @Lizpixie It is good but they get better as the series goes on. Dreaming of the bones is the best one. I think it's the fifth or sixth one. 8y

A little brain candy goes a long way... Always like a visit with Thomas, Simon, Deborah, and Barbara. Rare that I like that many characters in a series.

Rainy day = reading day. Onto a murder mystery. Hopefully Lynley, St. James, and Deborah are able to help me avoid the outdoors.
