Just One Evil Act
Just One Evil Act | Elizabeth George
9 posts | 15 read | 10 to read
When Hadiyyah Upman disappears from London in the company of her mother, Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers is as devastated as the girl's father. They are her close friends as well as neighbours, but since the child is with her mother, nothing can be done. Five months later, Hadiyyah is kidnapped from an open air market in Lucca, Italy, and this triggers an investigation in the full glare of the media spotlight. Barbara's clever manipulation of the worst of London's tabloids forces New Scotland Yard to become involved. But rather than Barbara herself, her superior officer DI Thomas Lynley is assigned to handle a situation made delicate by racial issues, language difficulties, and the determination of an Italian magistrate to arrest and convict someone - anyone - for the crime.

A long book/28 hours of listening...the daughter and girlfriend of Barbara‘s neighbor disappears. Barbara risks her job to help him, even teaming up with a reporter for a scandal paper.

My last of the “catch up on Lynley” reads. These are uniformly great as audiobooks. In this one Havers gets involved in the kidnapping of her neighbor‘s child sending her and Lynley to Italy. As always great characters and plotting. George is a master. 4⭐️

I love the book serie about Inspector Lynely but I just couldn't get hooked by this one. A bit disappointed.

#TBRtemptation post 3! This is a thick one. The 18th Inspector Lynley series. Sergeant Barbara Havers calls on her partner, Inspector Thomas Lynley, to assist on a potentially career-killing investigation to help find a friend's daughter kidnapped in an Italian marketplace. The case opens something very big. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

Penny_LiteraryHoarders Need a new Elizabeth George! She‘s been faithful with her every two year span - but this year there has been nothing new announced! Very sad making! 🙁 I miss her Lynley series! They‘re a must have for the end of year, by the fire reads. 6y
