Beschreibung

An engrossing, perfectly plotted novel in the bestselling series that inspired BBC's Lynley.<br>'Twists and turns keep you guessing for the whole book' Reader review<br>'All you could ask for in a murder mystery' Reader review<br>'I have already ordered the 3rd and 4th!' Reader review<br>'Absolutely brilliant' Reader review<br>'Meticulously crafted. A thundering good read' Reader review<br>An isolated Scottish mansion is the venue for a reading of a controversial new play by a West End theatre company. But on the very first evening, the playwright is savagely murdered, and Inspector Thomas Lynley faces the most testing case of his career.<br><br>For one of the suspects is Lady Helen Clyde. The love of Lynley's life.<br><br>As he attempts to untangle the family scandals, fierce theatrical rivalries and long-buried secrets that beset the case, Lynley struggles to balance the clinical detachment of his job with the intensity of his feelings.<br><br>Praise for Payment in Blood<br><br>'A treat - splendidly plotted and beautifully written'<br>Colin Dexter, creator of Inspector Morse<br><br>'The best novel of detection I have read in a long time. It scores on all counts: plot, pace, ingenuity, excitement and characterisation'<br>Ted Willis<br>'There is much here to solve, three detective novels' worth in the hands of a lesser writer. In Payment in Blood, however, nothing even seems so much as cluttered'<br>Washington Post<br><br>'Confirms the talent on such confident display in A Great Deliverance . . . The crisp, literate narration firmly draws us in'<br>New York Times Book Review<br><br>'George has aptly been compared to P.D. James, and her similar attention to subtleties of character lifts this traditional whodunnit out of the ordinary'<br>Chicago Sun-Times
