Publisher Description
Detective Inspector Lynley is approached by business magnate Bernard Fairclough for a confidential review - not a formal investigation - of the circumstances of his nephew's demise. The coroner's verdict is accidental death. Still grieving for his murdered wife, Lynley has personal reasons for welcoming a spell away from London. He heads to the wild beauty of the Lake District, with Deborah and Simon St James to provide cover for his inquiries. Barbara Havers, back at base, makes her own unique contribution to the case, distracted only by Isabelle's ambitions to improve her Detective Sergeant's appearance. When he comes to know the various members of the extended Fairclough dynasty, Lynley finds many possible motives for murder, and uncovers layers of deceit and betrayal that expose the lies at the heart of the Cumbrian community.

Believing the Lie
Elizabeth George has done it again. Spellbinding storyline, my favorite characters back again, her descriptions of the beautiful Lakes district. Thanks for letting us believe and await the next episode in the life of Tommy, Barbara and the wonderful myriad of characters
Believing the lie
As always, a rattling good story which , like a long rope, is payed out slowly until it reaches a solution. The characters are carefully drawn and develop from book to book. Although each of her novels stand alone, it is fascinating to see the development throughout the series of books. Quite one of my favorite writers, Elizabeth George has never let me down.
