Meer psychologie dan who-done-it, al kan ze niet tippen aan Ekman. Maar lezenswaardig

This is an excellent Inspector Lynley/Barbara Havers mystery. Barbara Havers gets much more page time than in any previous book and we come to know her much more than before. I always find it amazing that these mysteries are written by an American. (

Tommy and Barb are drawn into a case of a dead girl who may not have died if St. James and Deborah had called the Yard when they first learned the girl had gone missing. Helen and Simon both see a side of Lynley that they’d just as soon not, and Havers lands her first stint as the primary investigator in this kidnapping/murder. Another nice surprise ending. (

Amazon.com (ISBN 0553576089, Mass Market Paperback)

In her previous novels, including the bestselling Playing for the Ashes, George has developed the characters of forensic scientist Simon St. James, Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley and Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers to a fine degree. In this, her eighth novel, the secret love child of an ambitious politician and a sleazy tabloid publisher is kidnapped. When Scotland Yard gets involved, Lynley and Havers must elude death as they search for the child and her kidnappers. An insightful and haunting novel of ideals corrupted and retribution visited upon the heads of the innocent.
