About this audiobook
“Delicately textured. . . achingly compassionate. . . gripping. . . . It’s one of George’s best, and that’s saying something.” —Seattle Times
The #1 New York Times bestselling author’s chilling 13th novel in the Inspector Lynley series
Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley faces the greatest challenge of his career.
When an adolescent boy’s nude body is found draped over a tomb in a graveyard, the police recognize the work of a serial killer who’s been murdering boys in London. This is the killer’s fourth victim but the first to be white.
Hoping to avoid charges of institutionalized prejudice in their failure to pursue the earlier crimes to their conclusion, New Scotland Yard takes the case and hands it over to Lynley and his colleagues Detective Constable Barbara Havers and Detective Sergeant Winston Nkata. The killer is a psychopath who does not intend to be stopped. But a devastating tragedy within their ranks causes the police to fumble in their pursuit, which may bring more fatal consequences.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A fascinating, if gruesome, case. A strong, sympathetic pair of protagonists. Interesting twists and turns. An excellent, "invisible" narrator.
Even though I much prefer "cozy" mysteries without macabre descriptions of torture and gore, and where the reader doesn't have to see through the demented eyes of the perp, the most unbearable part of the audiobook was the blasting, horrid music. Why is there music anyway? When I read visually, there is no music other than what I might hear in my mind or choose to listen to in the background. Why should there be music when I "read" an audiobook? I look forward to another Linley and Havers investigation, but I'm not sure I'll be able to endure more of that disgusting music.1 person found this helpful
