I had mixed feelings about this book at first but the "bad" parts I put down to watching the TV series! There's always discrepancies between books & films/TV series & I've watched so many episodes of the series that it's very hard not to visualise the actors in my head while reading. Consequently any differences in appearences (& I spotted at least two) jumped out - niggly of me, I know :o)- but I still liked Lynley & Havers characters. Helen, however, irritated the hell out of me but to be fair I could never stand the actress who played her on TV either so she never stood a chance...

On the whole I enjoyed the tale & especially the parallel story of Barbara & her mother - although enjoy is perhaps the wrong word for that as it was heartbreaking in parts. Back to the main story & even though I knew who the killer was going to turn out to be, there were enough twists, turns & red herrings to keep me wondering if my recollections were wrong (they weren't!) & therefore I was kept intrigued up to the end (where I proved myself right!).
