Award-winning author Elizabeth George gives us an early glimpse into the lives of Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley, forensic scientist Simon Allcourt-St. James, and Lady Helen Clyde in a superlative mystery that is also a fascinating inquiry into the crimes of the heart. Lynley, the eighth earl of Asherton, has brought to Howenstow, his family home, the young woman he has asked to be his bride. But the savage murder of a local journalist is the catalyst for a lethal series of events that shatters the calm of a picturesque Cornwall village and embroils Lynley and St. James in a case far outside their jurisdiction?and a little too close to home. When a second death follows closely on the heels of the first, Lynley finds he can't help taking the investigation personally?because the evidence points to a killer within his own family.

From the Paperback edition.

Terrific Book

In A SUITABLE VENGEANCE by Elizabeth George, the author explores the back-story between Inspector Lynley, St. James, Deborah and Lady Helen. During a rare weekend visit to his estate in Cornwall to celebrate his engagement to Deborah Cotter, Lynley becomes involved in the vicious murder of the local newspaper publisher. During the course of solving the crime, Ms. George delves into the history of St. James' accident, the relationship between St. James, Lynley, Deborah and Lady Helen, and the reason for the estrangement between Lynley and his mother and brother. While Ms. George always makes sure that her mysteries are solved, she does not always have happy resolutions for her characters. Reading this book only makes some of the later books in the series more poignant as it deepens the reader's understanding of all the characters. This is a fine book that will definitely touch your heart.

A Real Page Turner

After reading WITH NO ONE AS WITNESS, I had to go back and re-read A SUITABLE VENGEANCE by Elizabeth George so I could refresh my memory of the intertwining relationships between Inspector Lynley, Lady Helen, St. James and Deborah. This is a beautifully rendered novel as Ms. George explores the painful history of the four main characters' relationships-- and Lynley's unhappy family relationships.

The mystery is suitably intriguing as Lynley battles against the fear that one of his relatives may be involved in a brutal crime. It is also fun to go back and see the early days of Barbara Havers and Lynley, before they became partners.

This remains one of my favorites of Elizabeth George's books, one that I will probably read several more times.
