Careless in Red


This suspense novel continues the story of Scotland Yard detective Thomas Lynley, still grieving the murder of his pregnant wife. While out walking, Lynley stumbles upon the body of a teenage boy and it becomes clear that the boy's climbing gear was altered. Lynley, at first a suspect, assists the homicide inquiry as he struggles with his devastating loss. Who is that mysterious woman? Can Lynley let go of the past long enough to help solve a brutal crime? In George's capable hands, the psychological twists and turns lead to a satisfying, though not necessarily tidy, ending.
So many interesting characters. I recommend Elizabeth George for people who want mysteries that have more substance.
