Fiction. Mystery. Suspense. Thriller. HTML:To this day, the low, thin wail of an infant can be heard in Keldale's lush green valleys. Three hundred years ago, as legend goes, the frightened Yorkshire villagers smothered a crying babe in Keldale Abbey, where they'd hidden to escape the ravages of Cromwell's raiders.

Now into Keldale's pastoral web of old houses and older secrets comes Scotland Yard Inspector Thomas Lynley, the eighth earl of Asherton. Along with the redoubtable Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers, Lynley has been sent to solve a savage murder that has stunned the peaceful countryside. For fat, unlovely Roberta Teys has been found in her best dress, an axe in her lap, seated in the old stone barn beside her father's headless corpse. Her first and last words were "I did it. And I'm not sorry."

Yet as Lynley and Havers wind their way through Keldale's dark labyrinth of secret scandals and appalling crimes, they uncover a shattering series of revelations that will reverberate through this tranquil English valley??and in their own lives as we

E liberaci dal padre appartiene a quei libri dei quali ho sempre sentito parlar bene e che prima o poi mi ripromettevo di affrontare (salvo poi pentirmi di non averlo fatto prima).

Elizabeth George ha creato due protagonisti capaci di attrarre l'attenzione del lettore come pochi, sebbene per motivi diversi. L'ispettore Lynley è un gentiluomo pieno di grazia e fascino, ma l'inferno gli scorre nelle vene. Parte del suo tormento viene rivelato in E liberaci dal padre, ma ho l'impressione che l'autrice abbia appena scalfito la superficie. Vedremo.

La sergente Havers, invece, è una tipa difficilmente gestibile che ce l'ha con il mondo intero. Sembra un mastino rabbioso, ma in realtà è solo alla ricerca di qualcuno che la tratti bene e riconosca la brava sergente che si cela dietro al virago. Anche lei ha alle spalle un passato ingombrante e un presente scalcagnato, ma non è brava come Lynley a mantenere le apparenze.

Immaginate un po' due tipi così agli antipodi a indagare su un omicidio piuttosto efferato nelle campagne dello Yorkshire. Aggiungeteci che entrambi saranno costretti a fronteggiare i loro demoni. Come ciliegina sulla torta, cito la straordinaria capacità di Elizabeth George di caratterizzare i suoi personaggi mostrandoceli all'opera, senza sommergerci di dettagli fin da subito. E, infatti, mi ha messo una gran curiosità addosso, mannaggia a lei!

Il giallo, poi, è sviluppato in maniera superba. Anche qui, ogni personaggio coinvolto ha la sua ben precisa psicologia e il finale mi ha davvero toccato il cuore (oltre a ricordarmi uno dei tanti motivi per i quali sono agnostica, ma va be'...). ( )

I don't normally like mysteries (since a lot of them seem to be written at a fourth grade level for some reason,) but this one was good. I will definitely read more by her! ( )

I like mysteries, they're my go-to easy reading. And I liked the BBC series based on these books. But George's character writing for women, particularly, makes me so angry that it ruins the story. I read these many years ago, but I still remember one or two scenes that were intolerable. ( )

Although I have read lots of mysteries, this is the first time I'm reading Inspector Lynley, or indeed, Elizabeth George. My sister is a big fan of these books, so I'm sure she would be scandalized that it has taken me this long to come around. Anyway, despite the fact that this is a series opener, the titular Inspector's backstory is not deeply plumbed here. We do get some juicy tidbits, mostly because he keeps encountering a lost love while involved in his first case with the sullen, disagreeable Sergeant Havers, who is being given a second chance at a higher level of police work after (apparently) washing out and being demoted. Lynley is a skilled investigator despite his genteel breeding and the appearance of delicate sensibilities. The two of them, a mismatched pair if ever there was one, navigate a difficult murder case involving fathers and daughters, wives and sisters who have disappeared, and some generally pretty disturbing family dynamics. They spend the whole investigation trying to find evidence that the person accused of the crime did not actually commit the crime, but has been wrongfully arrested and committed to an asylum, and wind up realizing that, far more important than the Who is the Why, and that shit will shake you to your core. It's clear that the Lynley-Havers partnership is being set up as something with longevity, and there are supporting players that will continue to influence both the partnership and the partners. The best thing about starting a long-standing book series after it has existed for a while is that there is no waiting around -- I get to read at least 10 Lynley mysteries without stopping, if I want to!
