A Suitable Vengeance by Elizabeth George

4.0

Even though this is the fourth book in the Thomas Lynley series, chronologically it is set before the other three. Thomas, Lord Asherton, has brought his fiance, Deborah, home to meet his family also bringing along Simon St. James and Lady Helen. Unfortunately, a good weekend is spoiled by the murder of a neighbor and then the murder of a guest at Lynley's family home, Howenstow. Increasingly, it appers that a member of the Lynley family must be involved. The sad history of the Lynley family makes the interactions among the major characters of this series much easier to understand both in previous and in subsequent books.
