    <![CDATA[The career of playwright Joy Sinclair comes to an  abrupt end on an isolated estate in the Scottish  Highlands when someone drives and eighteen-inch  dirk through her neck. Called upon to investigate the  case in a country where they have virtually no authority, aristocratic Detective Inspector Thomas  Lynley and his partner, Detective Sergeant Barbara  Havers, grapple for both a motive and a murderer.  Emotions run deep in this highly charged drama, for  the list of suspects soon includes Britain's  foremost actress, its most successful theatrical  producer, and the woman Lynley loves. He and Havers must  tread carefully through the complicated terrain of  human relationships, while they work to solve a case rooted in the darkest corners of the past and the unexplored regions of the human  heart.]]>

I guess we learn that he is human, but he needs to give props to Sergeant Havers for her police work.   <br/><br/>Barbara Havers has really developed....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/12575372">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[The career of playwright Joy Sinclair comes to an  abrupt end on an isolated estate in the Scottish  Highlands when someone drives and eighteen-inch  dirk through her neck. Called upon to investigate the  case in a country where they have virtually no authority, aristocratic Detective Inspector Thomas  Lynley and his partner, Detective Sergeant Barbara  Havers, grapple for both a motive and a murderer.  Emotions run deep in this highly charged drama, for  the list of suspects soon includes Britain's  foremost actress, its most successful theatrical  producer, and the woman Lynley loves. He and Havers must  tread carefully through the complicated terrain of  human relationships, while they work to solve a case rooted in the darkest corners of the past and the unexplored regions of the human  heart.]]>

I know that they and their surprisingly linked backgrounds are critical to the plot, and I know that George does a very nice job of introducing them without hitting you over the head with a &quot;cast of characters&quot;, but I have to ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58312713">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A good follow up to the first in the series.  This kept me guessing until the end.  Character development was not as thorough as the first book, so make sure you read them in order.  Her style of writing is thoroughly engrossing and I found myself having a hard time putting the book down.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This mystery has some highly entertaining moments although the story dragged a bit and my mind wandered a lot. Ms George style is very much like Agatha Christie, a vivid cast of suspects, an appealing team of sleuths and a beautiful setting.<br/><br/>]]></body>
