Forgotten Book: A SUITABLE VENGEANCE, Elizabeth George

My little green book

My plan this year for my contributions to Friday's Forgotten Books hosted by Pattinase is to feature books I read 20 years ago - in 1993- from the records I have in my "little green book", which I started in 1975. In 1993 I read 111 books and was pretty well addicted to crime fiction by then.

The first two months of 1993 saw a mixture of P.D. James and Ruth Rendell as I caught up with backnumbers in the series that I discovered in 2012.

I began March in 1993 with A SUITABLE VENGEANCE by Elizabeth George.

This was #4 in the Inspector Lynley series, published in 1990.

Synopsis (Fantastic Fiction)

Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley, 8th Earl of Asherton, has brought to Howenstow, his ancestral home, the young woman he has asked to be his bride.

But the savage murder of a local journalist soon becomes the catalyst for a lethal series of events which shatters the calm of the picturesque Cornish community, tearing apart powerful ties of love and friendship, and exposing a long-buried family secret.

The resulting tragedy will forever alter the course of Thomas Lynley's life.

I have continued to read the Lynley series.
