Award-winning author Elizabeth George gives us an early glimpse into the lives of Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley, forensic scientist Simon Allcourt-St. James, and Lady Helen Clyde in a superlative mystery that is also a fascinating inquiry into the crimes of the heart. Lynley, the eighth earl of Asherton, has brought to Howenstow, his family home, the young woman he has asked to be his bride. But the savage murder of a local journalist is the catalyst for a lethal series of events that shatters the calm of a picturesque Cornwall village and embroils Lynley and St. James in a case far outside their jurisdiction??and a little too close to home. When a second death follows closely on the heels of the first, Lynley finds he can't help taking the investigation personally??because the evidence points to a killer within his own family. Praise for A Suitable Vengeance ??Elizabeth George reigns as queen of the mystery genre. The Lynley books constitute the smartest, most gratifying complex and impassioned mystery series now being published.???Entertainment Weekly

Avendoci già fatto follemente innamorare dei suoi personaggi, si perdona senza fatica a George di non aver scritto una trama gialla avvincente come suo solito (ma chi ne ha bisogno con la forza morale di Lynley, la dolcezza di St. James e la spregiudicatezza di Lady Helen, che in un mondo ideale sarebbe la life coach di cui abbiamo bisogno?).
Non ho granché apprezzato la rappresentazione di un personaggio crossdresser (o trans? Chissà…): è una pratica associata al vizio e, sebbene nessuno dei personaggi principali indulga nella condanna, la sensazione che lascia non è proprio positiva. Si sente il peso del tempo che è passato… ( )
