Hailed by The New York Times as "a master of the British Mystery," award-winning author Elizabeth George is cherished by readers on both sides of the Atlantic. Her first collection of short stories is an extraordinary offering that deftly explores the lengths to which people will go to get what they want most...
In these five original tales, George plumbs the depths of human nature as only she can. From the chilling tale of a marriage built on an appalling set of lies that only death can reveal, to the title story about a penniless schoolteacher whose ambition turns murderous, I, Richard is filled with page-turning drama and unmatched suspense.
Thanks to Inspector Thomas Lynley, a squabbling group of Anglophiles discovers a killer in its midst...But little help is on hand when a picture-perfect town is shattered by an eccentric new resident's horrifying pet project...And when a wealthy husband is haunted by suspicions about his much-younger wife, it becomes clear that a man's imagination can be his own worst enemy...
(2002)(audio) Fine collection of 5 short stories by my favorite mystery writer. Insp. Lynley only shows up in one, but the stories are all very good with sharp little twists at the end.
I like George's novels, but these stories left me cold. I just didn't like the people involved, and didn't find the topics interesting. The best one was Remember I Will Always Love You. ( )
Ho letto questa raccolta di racconti brevi al termine della lettura di tutte le opere della George, in attesa di futuri libri. Devo dire che si tratta di un ottimo libro, diverso come stile dagli altri romanzi, ma comunque ben scritto. Da consigliare anche a chi non ha letto le altre opere. ( )
I really enjoyed this collection of short stories. They are all very good reads and all of them top notch. A great book to read during this coronavirus quarantine. ( )
I enjoy Elizabeth George but this was a stuggle for me. I listened to it on audio and the narrator did not have a very good voice. I think that was a contributing factor. ( )

Schnappschuss: Jeder, der damals in Cambridge an dem Seminar über die Geschichte der britischen Architektur teilnahm, hätte in der Rückschau auf den Fall Abinger Manor gesagt, dass Sam Cleary unter den gegebenen Umständen am ehesten als Kandidat für einen Mordanschlag vorstellbar war.
Die Überraschung seines Lebens: Bei der ersten Sitzung mit Thistle McCloud hatte Douglas Armstrong keinerlei Absicht, seine Frau zu ermorden.
Ein guter Zaun reicht nicht immer: Zweimal jedes Jahr schaffte es eines der Viertel im hübschen Städtchen East Wingate in den Stand der Vollkommenheit erhoben zu werden.
Vergiss nie, dass ich dich liebe: Charly Lawton weinte nicht, als sie am offenen Grab ihres Mannes stand.

Schnappschuss: Hoffen war erlaubt, auch wenn es manchmal, wie im Fall Polly Simpsons, vergeblich war.
Vergiss nie, dass ich dich liebe: Und ihr Instinkt sagte ihr, dass Mr. Namen-tun-nichts-zur-Sache so dringend haben wollte, weshalb er gekommen war, dass er bereit sein würde, ihr die Zeit zu geben, die erforderlich war, um den Brief zu schreiben.
