The #1 New York Times bestselling author’s award-winning series returns
For two decades, Elizabeth George and her Inspector Lynley series have been mainstays on bestseller lists across the country, and in 2012 Believing the Lie, the seventeenth novel in George’s beloved series, landed on the top of the New York Times bestseller list, making George a #1 bestselling author for the first time. This fall, readers will get another dose of the charming Inspector Lynley and his hot-blooded colleague Barbara Havers in A BANQUET OF CONSEQUENCES.
DI Thomas Lynley never thought there’d be a time when he would miss the infuriating manners of Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers. But with a transfer request from Superintendent Ardery looming over her head, Havers has transformed into a polite, cooperative coworker, and Lynley quickly realizes that the Barbara Havers that frustrated him to no end is also the Barbara Havers that inspired some of the most brilliant work in their careers. As Lynley wonders how to bring Havers out of her fog (without her doing something to make Ardley put through that transfer), a case involving a well-known feminist writer comes across Havers’s desk. Could this case mark the return of the rule-bending Barbara Havers, and can Lynley keep her in line enough to fly under the Superintendent’s radar?
A BANQUET OF CONSEQUENCES is Elizabeth George at her best, with expertly drawn characters, lush scenery, and a page-turning plot that will keep readers guessing until the very end.
