DEC avatar reviewed on + 134 more book reviews


Scotland Yard Inspector Thomas Lynley, the eigthy earl of Asherton, and Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers have been sent to solve a savage murder that has stunned the peaceful countryside of Keldale. Fat, unlovely Roberta Teys has been found in her best dress, an axe in her lap, seated in the old stone barn beside her father's headless corpse. Her first and last words were "I did it. And I'm not sorry."

Another excellent tale from Elizabeth George. If you enjoy and complex murder mystery, I recommend it.
