??Ms. George proves that the classiest crime writers are true novelists.???The New York Times
Award-winning author Elizabeth George gives us an early glimpse into the lives of Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley, forensic scientist Simon Allcourt-St. James, and Lady Helen Clyde in a superlative mystery that is also a fascinating inquiry into the crimes of the heart. Lynley, the eighth earl of Asherton, has brought to Howenstow, his family home, the young woman he has asked to be his bride. But the savage murder of a local journalist is the catalyst for a lethal series of events that shatters the calm of a picturesque Cornwall village and embroils Lynley and St. James in a case far outside their jurisdiction??and a little too close to home. When a second death follows closely on the heels of the first, Lynley finds he can't help taking the investigation personally??because the evidence points to a killer within his own family. Praise for A Suitable Vengeance ??Elizabeth George reigns as queen of the mystery genre. The Lynley books constitute the smartest, most gratifying complex and impassioned mystery series now being published.???Entertainment Weekly
??Ms. George can do it all, with style to spare.???TheWall Street Journal
Le quatrième volume de la série est un préquel où l’on apprend l’origine du couple Deborah Cotter-Simon Saint James et où Barbara Havers fait une courte apparition. L’intrigue policière y est ainsi moindre que l’histoire sentimentale et familiale, manque de rythme et se noie pourtant dans les complications narratives. Une lecture qui laisse un goût de déception et d’ennui. ( )
Notre américaine d'auteur reconstitue dans son livre tout l'imaginaire de l'Angleterre: un manoir, une lady, des cottages, un pub... Mais le tout fait un peu carton-pâte. On a l'impression de lire du P.D. James en moins bien. Quant à l'intrigue, c'est une succession de hasards et de coïncidences plus qu'une réelle enquête. ( )

Of all affliction taught a lover yet, 'Tis sure the hardest science to forget! How shall I lose the sin, yet keep the sense, And love the offender, yet detest th' offense? How the dear object from the crime remove,>br>Or how distinguish penitence from love? - Alexander Pope
