About the book:
"Fat, unlovely Roberta Teys is found beside her father´s headless corpse, wearing her best dress and with an axe in her lap. Her first words are: ´I did it. And I am not sorry´ and she refuses to say more.
Inspector Thomas Lynley and DS Barbara Havers are sent by Scotland Yard to solve this particularly gruesome murder. And as they navigate their way around a dark labyrinth of secret scandals and appalling crimes, they uncover a series of shocking revelations that shatter the façade of the peaceful Yorkshire village."

I received this book in the mail yesterday. Thank you, Dani, for sending it all the way to Canada! I loved the Inspector Lynley television series and look forward to reading the book it was based on.

I'd watched the entire Inspector Lynley TV series a few years ago and especially loved the portrayal of Havers by Sharon Small. I'm happy to say that this book, on which the series is based, did not disappoint. I really liked the writing and the characters. I found the caricature of the American tourists and some of the plot elements over the top, but otherwise this was a very enjoyable first book in the series.

I am a fan of Inspector Lynley and this book lived up to my expectations. A page turning mystery with some great characters.

Back in my hands and reserved for bookstogive's Mystery/Thriller/Suspense VBB.

Removed from bookstogive's VBB.

I left this book in a Little Library in my neighbourhood.
