This is free download Playing for the Ashes (Inspector Lynley, #7) by Elizabeth George complete book soft copy. No, just a solid entry in the series; even the Lynley/Lady Helen "romance" is kept to a tolerable minimum. I find that the author really delves into all sides of the characters to help us understand what motivates them. Whitelaw herself is a fascinating character. Strong characterization, tense plot and sub-plots, multiple important themes that were all skillfully handled without dropping or sacrificing any of them. One book may be told from the main detec. Another good Inspector Lynley mystery. I wish Barbara could find a little romance, she's had a hard life and is turning into a very likable and witty character. The first edition of the novel was published in 1994, and was written by Elizabeth George. My only complaint was the initial story of Olivia is a bit offputting as she becomes extremely promiscuous to the point of endangering herself. I love how Ms. George keeps you guessing to the very end, always a pleasure for me. Playing for the Ashes is the 7th book in the Inspector Lynley mystery series. Here is a quick description and cover image of book Playing for the Ashes (Inspector Lynley, #7) written by Elizabeth George which was published in 1994–. This book is way, way too long. I'm very fond of the author's writing style and her extensive vocabulary. If ARM was left alone, Livie would give up her mother. This one was about the murder of an England Cricketer, Kenneth Fleming, found dead a as result of an arson attack, in the cottage of his lover, who seems to have vanished. However she has scorn for his title and all that goes with it. Lynley and Havers soon focus on teenager Jimmy Cooper, Jean Cooper and Kenneth Fleming’s oldest son. This was an awful slog. I'm not one who likes to do that. I liked this one better than the last one of these I read. In addition, he was seeing Gabriella Patten, the wife of a major backer of Fleming’s cricket team, who lived at Celandine Cottage. Inspector Lynley and his partner, Barbara Havers, are called in from Scotland Yard to help the local police force. Now this review might be a bit biased because I am a huge fan of the Inspector Lynley series on PBS and while I know that in the novels he is blonde, I couldn't help picturing Nathaniel Parker.

Pretty good story, but in my opinion, it could have used a strong edit and cut out about a third of the book, which would have made for a more intense read. Mollison knows where Gabriella Patten, who has been missing since the night Fleming died, is hiding. The murder investigation does not dominate the book until near its end. It is weighted down with unnecessary description of details which only seem to sound like haughty sound-bites showing how much the author knows, and daring us to pick up a dictionary to look up some of her words.

The book was published in multiple languages including English, consists of 619 pages and is available in Hardcover format. Not really what I came for, you know? PLAYING FOR THE ASHES is as much the story of cricket player Kenneth Fleming or of Olivia Whitelaw as it is a detective story. I can guess at what Lynley decides to do, but I wanted it spelled out. As is her wont, sports and causes are invoked (cricket and anti-vivisectionism). She overwrites: "Sodden cornflakes and ever-darkening banana slices marked the trajectory of the cereal bowl she'd upended." I've now eagerly followed along and loved this series ever since picking it up at #8. All three women become suspects, as does Patten’s husband and Guy Mollison, the team captain. They find a torment of twisted familial relationships and broken dreams - and as he brings the murderer to justice, Lynley must bear the weight of his own conscience.
