A Place of Hiding

An Inspector Lynley Novel, Book 12

By: Elizabeth George

Narrated by: Michael Tudor Barnes

The sudden death of Guy Brouard after his morning swim shocks the residents of Guernsey. A generous patron and benefactor of the island since his arrival there a decade ago, his demise puts a question mark over many cherished projects.

When a young American woman is charged with the murder, her brother seeks help from the only contact he has in the UK - Deborah St James. Deborah is horrified to find that her old friend has been arrested and persuades her husband Simon to accompany her to Guernsey to avert this miscarriage of justice.

There they find a tangled web of deceit and betrayal, with its origins in wartime occupation. In solving the crime, they must rely on their long-standing friendship with Inspector Lynley; they must also learn painful lessons about loyalty and trust, and the loving tyranny of family ties.

Critic reviews

PRAISE FOR ELIZABETH GEORGE

She's brilliant

The connoisseur's crime writer

A very fine writer

A master of the English mystery

Elizabeth George reigns as queen of the mystery genre. The Lynley books constitute the smartest, most gratifyingly complex and impassioned mystery series now being published

George is a master

A fascinating list of subjects . . . wrenching stories . . . George conveys them all with exceptional grace

It's tough to resist George's storytelling, once hooked

Great Story

Not difficult to be utterly taken by Elizabeth George - she is one of the best crime novel writers ever. And I really appreciate the audio productions of her books hence would be delighted to find the earlier E. George novels (that I have all read) soon as audio books. I surely would buy them all!
