Book Reviews of A Great Deliverance (Inspector Lynley Mystery)

Book Review: The first novel in the Lynley/Havers canon - Start here!
Summary: 4 Stars

However, and here is the good news, her plotting of the details of the mystery is both detailed and believable, while her character Havers is a brilliant success. The reader is treated to a realistic analysis of the difference between people's real thoughts, emotions and intentions and the perceptions of these same elements when seen through either unsympathetic - or simply unknowing - eyes.

The personal problems faced by Havers will sound familiar to many readers, and this adds a further realism to the action. Havers is human, flawed, bloody-minded, but ultimately brings her own unique insight to the case.

Unlike some series, the personal lives of the main characters develop book by book, and the best way to appreciate the characters is to live their lives from the beginning.

So, start here, and although the journey through her novels will be sometimes not always as smooth or as clear as one would wish, the standard not always staying at the very top, I am convinced that you will agree that Elizabeth George rarely short-changes you, and you will feel sad when you've reached the end of her most recent release and actually have to wait for her to write the next one.
