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 lads 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 childand 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 Chamberss cloistered walls. But as they begin to unlock the secrets of this closed society, the investigation into Matthews death leads them perilously close to their own emotional woundsand blinds them to the signs of another murder in the making. . . .

Caramellunacy: Both stories feature a murder at a decaying English prep school and deal with class and identity issues. Gentlemen and Players features a slower pace and an elaborate twist as the main character seeks revenge for former wrongs.

Sans doute le meilleur volume de la série que j’aie lu à ce jour. ( )

"At least you've an umbrella," he noted................... "Yes indeed One of those wretched collapsible things. I bought it at the airport, It's been collapsing quite cooperatively ever since."

Here rests his head upon the lap of Earth. A youth to fortune and to fame unknown; Fair Science frowned not on his humble birth, And Melancholy marked him for her own.
