Synopsis

“The Lynley books constitute the smartest, most gratifyingly complex and impassioned mystery series now being published.”—Entertainment Weekly 

When thirteen-year-old Matthew Whately goes missing from Bredgar Chambers, a prestigious public school in the heart of West Sussex, aristocratic Inspector Thomas Lynley receives a call for help from the lad’s housemaster, who also happens to be an old school chum. Thus, the inspector, his partner, Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers, and forensic scientist Simon Allcourt-St. James find themselves once again outside their jurisdiction and deeply involved in the search for a child—and then, tragically, for a child killer. Questioning prefects, teachers, and pupils closest to the dead boy, Lynley and Havers sense that something extraordinarily evil is going on behind Bredgar Chambers’s cloistered walls. But as they begin to unlock the secrets of this closed society, the investigation into Matthew’s death leads them perilously close to their own emotional wounds—and blinds them to the signs of another murder in the making. . . .

* I work hard on these pieces and dislike empty like button clicks. Comments from friends and readers are my reward. * I thought I was spacing-out Elizabeth George’s series, which I started last year.

Goodreads review by Mary Beth on August 10, 2016

This is the third book in the Inspector Lynley Series. I read this book as a buddy read with a GR friend and it was a lot of fun. Lynley is asked to investigate a missing child at a private school, and he and Havers are thrust into a world of lies, intrigue, and twisted passions, thinly veiled in uppe......more

Goodreads review by Kris (My Novelesque Life) on August 09, 2016

FIVE YEARS LATER... I know it seems like I did not really like the series, as I waited 5 years to continue with the third book, but it is more of a "too many book, not enough time" syndrome. I FINALLY got to book three this month when a friend and I did a buddy read. As soon as I started the book I......more
