I finally managed to get back to reading the next Elizabeth George book in her Inspector Lynley series after the huge block that hit me after reading the previous book, “A Suitable Vengeance”. The fog makes it difficult to see. They have finally reached a point where they allow themselves to be honest and vulnerable with one another, particularly in Bar. I found myself often bored. While some mysteries are a steady jog, others a brisk walk, this one is a meandering stroll through the fields. With a bone cracking crunch.
Lynley and Havers are brought in to investigate bringing in personal problems of their own. Was it her frigid, Stepfordesque stepmother? lynley's and havers's personalities evolve with each instalment, and their professional relationship continues to progress in more nuanced ways.
while the mysteries in this series tend to fall between 2 and 3 stars for me, the characters are much more a draw, and quite enjoyable.
Now I have to say that even though I do not feel that there is not enough action, I really do enjoy them. But I'm confused. We've got you covered with the buzziest new releases of the day. In this outing, the crime is the murder of a deaf student, Elena Weaver, who is bludgeoned while out on an early morning run. Elizabeth George does so well on her characterization. Refresh and try again. Elena is beautiful, lively, sexually precocious, and extremely troubled. Her relationships with members of her family prove to be key to the detectives’ understanding of her murder.
Lynley is then brought in to solve the crime.
Because of being short listed for the promotion, he needs his daughter to behave. All of George's books that I've read so far have been immensely enjoyable, but this one went above and beyond for me as a reader. For the Sake of Elena by Elizabeth George. As she pounds along the trail in the fog. Good read about a deaf student who was killed who had many, many secrets! Very interesting…very true. Find reference to "Lady Helen" irritating! The detectives therefore are under pressure to resolve the case quickly while keeping the reputation of the university unsullied.
Welcome back. Yes, there is some backstory to Inspector Lynley and Sergeant Havers, but each case can be read on its own.
Her elderly mother suffers from dementia and Havers is ill-equipped to care for her mother alone.
Suddenly, Elena Weaver is found dead. A deeper look into the lives of Lynley & Lady Helen as well as some pivotal points regarding Havers and her mother e. This seemed a little longer than her other Detective Lynley novels, or perhaps it just took me longer to read.

For the Sake of Elena Summary & Study Guide includes comprehensive information and analysis to That being all said, I very much enjoyed “For the Sake of Elena”...and have broken through my reluctance to continue with the series. Lynley is trying to win Helen over. Who knew art could drive people into insanity and back from the brink of it within the covers of the smae novel. As for Elena, she lived a life of casual and intense physical and emotional relationships, with scores to settle and goals to achieve--until someone, lying in wait along the route she ran every morning, bludgeoned her to death. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. Will we ponder the differences between middle-ag. Laura, I liked this book very much as it read more like a novel about not fitting in than anything else. Her father is a senior fellow and professor at St. Stephen's College and he almost is a certainty to win the Penford Chair of History. Was it her frigid, Stepfordesque stepmother?
At first I was indignant, certain the author had cheated me, but after re-reading an earlier chapter (I bet every reader will go back and revisit this chapter) I acknowledged an acceptable bit of cleverness.
If the following book in the series is more like this that the earlier books I am afraid I will not be back for the next.
In her clingy dresses and dangling earrings she exuded a sexuality at odds with the innocence projected by the unicorn posters on her walls.
Also, apparently the British have never met Political Correctness and would not give it tea and sandwiches if they had. Lynley and Havers are brought in to investigate bringing in personal problems of their own. Now I have to say that even though I do not feel that there is not enough action, I really do enjoy them.
George does a wonderful job giving. To create our... Elena Weaver was a surprise to anyone meeting her for the first time.
Elena Weaver is a student at St. Stephen's College, one of the colleges belonging to prestigious Cambridge University. Elizabeth George never leaves her characters without something to do in their lives and we careen along watching them, wishing we could offer them a cuppa, a shoulder to cry upon, and sometimes a good shaking. Solving the murder is always the main focus but George does a great job developing various characters through out the story. Elena Weaver is a special person. Thomas Lynley and Barbara Havers BOTH experienced important character growth, something we haven't really seen since the first book in the series.
While her embittered mother fretted about her welfare from her home in London, in Cambridge—where Elena was a student at St. Stephen's College—her father and his se.

This has been my least favorite of the series so far. This is, without question, the best of the Inspector Lynley series so far, for several reasons.
Detective Inspector Thomas "Tommy" Lynley, of New Scotland Yard, is assigned to the case. She hasn't been applying herself to much except at enraging her father and her grades have been dropping, but right now she is enjoying her morning run.
I am reading these out of order.
Cambridge University, with its impressive architecture, its sprawling campuses, and its strained history with those living in town, becomes a place of suspicion, lies, and mayhem. But, dear reader, not for long.
[Love Elizabeth George. I thought I might read the entire series of Inspector Lynley, but I think I'll stop here.
