As expected from this author and this series, A Slowly Dying Cause is very well plotted and well written. My only issue is that there was not nearly enough Inspector Lynley! (There was a very long lead-up to his eventual appearance.) Many thanks to NetGalley and Viking for the opportunity to read the ARC instead of waiting until September for the latest in this series.

Elizabeth George is literally my favorite mystery writer, and the only writer that I ever wrote a fan letter too. I am thrilled every time a new Lynsey is available to read, and I voraciously gobble it up. The latest is no exception, and as always, Barbara and Lynsey are unbeatable, the psychological is astute, and deeply rendered, and the crime is both twisty, and darkly human. There is no better whodunnit writer going, and I’m thrilled to push a new that installment.

As always from this author, a real treat! I was surprised by how long it was till Lynley and Havers made their appearance, but I didn't mind. A rich cast of characters was a challenge to keep up with and that's what I love. Worth waiting for every time.

Another great read/mystery from Elizabeth George. Multiple story lines, multiple red flags, the detectives not in their usual place but still hoping to solve the crime. A can’t miss title.
