  <default_description>&lt;i&gt;&quot;The story begins with my father, actually, and the fact that I'm the one who's answerable for his death.  It was not my first crime, as you will see, but it is the one my mother couldn't forgive.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In her astonishing &lt;i&gt;New York Times &lt;/i&gt;bestseller, acclaimed author Elizabeth George reveals the even darker truth behind this startling confession &lt;i&gt;Playing For The Ashes&lt;/i&gt; is a rich tale of passion, murder and love in which Inspector Thomas Lynley and Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers once again&lt;br&gt;find themselves embroiled in a case where nothing--and no one--is really what it seems.  Intense, suspenseful and brilliantly written, &lt;i&gt;Playing for the&lt;br&gt;Ashes&lt;/i&gt; will make readers &quot;search out the sleuthing pair's first six adventures... a treasure,&quot; as &lt;i&gt;Cosmopolitan &lt;/i&gt;predicted in their review.</default_description>

There are some pivotal changes for the main characters as far as the series goes, but as a stand-alone mystery novel, this is not the best.

    <body><![CDATA[I didn't want to like this one. But I felt it might be blasphemy if I didn't keep reading. It is very wordy but a nice twist for the ending made me give it the three stars. This is more risque' than her earlier titles and I did enjoy knowing that George could write about the dirty side of SoHo in Lo...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3959825">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[There can't be too many books featuring an international cricketer amongst it's list of suspects, as George continues to indulge her fascination for all things English, but she spins some interesting twists on the reader's expectations, and this marked what was George's coming of age.

    <body><![CDATA[I loved this book. Gritty, and dealing with some unpleasant issues, it has stayed with me, and I consider it to be one of George's best books. The police investigate the murder of a cricket star, who had been separated from his wife, and who was staying with his mentor/?lover. Very good book.]]></body>
