Her books are thick and long but I always hate to get to the last page. Her ability to build on the main characters and their relationships even from one book to another puts her in a unique class of novelists. Her detail to everything from location, culture, interaction between each actor in the script is amazing. I feel very inadequate trying to describe how brilliant her writing and plots are done. Interestingly, she doesn't live in Britain where these books all take place but in the Pacific Northwest of the US.I watch some of the BBC Detective Lynley mysteries but it is impossible to fit in all the people, passion, nuances, etc. in a series. I also feel after reading her that I KNOW Detective Lord Lynley , Barbara, Helen and others that can't be squeezed in so that I wonder why he doesn't have blond hair, she's a little more pulled together...Just read her! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ THE MOST ENGAGING PART IS IN THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE MYSTERY ITSELF *by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2016* As far as mystery plot is concerned, this isn’t Elizabeth George’s best. If she is part of the Agatha Christie tradition, here she deviates a bit by being less cerebral. The story centers around a theater company and the murder of a playwright, but the real drama lies in the outskirts of this mystery. It goes with aristocratic Inspector Thomas Lynley’s passion for Lady Helen Clyde—a jealousy so obsessive that it will prevent him from doing his job properly. The display of this Achille’s heel destroys Lynley’s own sense of perfection, but adds something better: a vulnerable dimension that makes this member of the nobility part of us after all. It’s with Sergeant Barbara Havers that most readers will identify, however. To Lynley’s elegance and servant assisted life, she responds with the rushed, stressed ways of the working class. She has no time for herself, can hardly take care of her incapacitated parents, is angry most of the time, particularly at social inequality. In other words, she equates aristocrat with aristo-crap. This said, to Lynley’s Don Quixote she’s the crucial Sancho Panza. Balance exists once they are together; not a quiet balance, mind you, but a balance that recreates itself with arguments and struggles. They need each other in order to solve clues. One goes with ideas, intuition and imagination; the other gives structure and brings these ideas back to reality when they travel too far. And that’s why, even when her mystery plots are somewhat circumvoluted like this one, George is engaging. She never shies away from character development, and the personal dramas of her detectives are never too far in the background. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ In Many Ways better than A Great Deliverance. *by J***J on Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2014* I really enjoyed this second book in the series. It is compelling written, draws you in quickly and keeps your interest throughout the book. There are many twists and turns at the end so that you really don't know who is guilty. Ms George is the master of weaving together a mystery, the personal lives of many of the suspects and the personal lives of the detectives. Each person in the book has been well thought out, fully developed and interesting. I am at a loss though at how Lynley without a word of explanation has jumped from his obsession with Deborah in A Great Deliverance to Helen in this book. I almost feel like I've missed something along the way. I like the way the author lets you see how vulnerable Lynley is about his personal life and how he lets it slip over into his professional life causing him to make mistakes and be stubborn about them. That is where good old Havers comes in handy. Love that woman. I read all of these books many years ago then loaned my copies out and never got them back. I decided to read them again now since I remembered them as being superior till Ms George began to sort of lose it somewhere along about the 8th book maybe. These earlier books stand alone as wonderfully written so I'm going to reread the series till I reach the point where I think "what on earth happened to her ability to tell a story" then stop. If you want to read excellent mysteries you are perfectly safe in ordering the first half dozen in the series as I've done. If you have only read recent books by Ms George then don't give up on her but go back to the beginning of the series and read those. They are excellent. Bless her heart. She is not the only author to go off the rails after turning out several superior books. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/15140112-payment-in-blood-inspector-lynley-book-2](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/15140112-payment-in-blood-inspector-lynley-book-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
