It's been a few years since I Lynley, Havers and company. I look forward to future releases wondering if they meet my expectations or not. For my taste, E. George has the nasty habit of documenting too. Finally, at least to show that it is documented much. For all his novels deal with a particular theme, placed more or less in the foreground. For example, it deals with the Pakistani anti racism in very good Murder of the cliff, relations between politicians and the tabloid press in the face of the enemy, or cricket and Charcot's disease in A taste Ash (yes: these two themes in one book!). So from time to time we are overwhelmed with details that take precedence over the plot of the novel. The worst was suffering from my point of view with unfaithful memory, with half of the novel that was actually notes everyday life wrote one of the main characters in order to entrust them to his shrink. I do not appreciate all her books equally, but when I like, I LOVE!
In short, when my friend Amazon.com kindly offered me to buy the next book in advance of the lady, I jumped at the chance. In English, because I could not wait for the French translation. (And it's more fun, even if all these pages written in tiny-little do a little scared at first). It will be called The Round lies in French.
In Believing the Lie, there all I expect novels E.Georges: an investigation to elucidate, power games within New Scotland Yard, friendship, human imperfection, of complex family relations, villainy, the passions grrr, the passions more grrr-and-re-grrr passions, and, and, and ... traditional rain of November in the region Lakes England.
Tomas Lynley and St. James are at the center of the investigation, mingling their lives closely in the investigation, but Barbara Havers (my darling, hush, do not tell) is still present with a somewhat secondary role . Wintson Nkata failed me, but he must rest a little, the poor.
I forgot to talk about the plot!
Ian is part of a rich industrialist family, and left his wife and children for the sake of another man, destroying the lives of all. One day, he drowns. The Commissioner Hillier sum the Inspector Lynley to investigate this death incognito. We then meet the rest of the family: the heir of the family business logic to the long history of addiction, to which he turned his back after he met his future wife, an invalid and embittered woman, living the hook of his relatives, relatives living on appearances, and a young boy in self-destructive behavior.
And then at the end it comes to biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip and biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip which biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip. Damned! I can not reveal it all here but, trust me, I look forward to reading the next book!
