Something to Hide

An Inspector Lynley Novel, Book 21

De: Elizabeth George

Narrado por: Vivienne Rochester

Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers and Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley are back in the next Lynley novel from Sunday Times best-selling author Elizabeth George.

A Nigerian-born detective sergeant working for the Metropolitan Police is found unconscious in her own flat and ends up in hospital, where she dies of her injury. The post-mortem reveals that the subdural hematoma is the result of a blow to her head. DI Thomas Lynley, DS Barbara Havers and DS Winston Nkata are called in to investigate a case that touches upon not only the work and the life of the murdered detective but also upon a controversial cultural tradition that damages and often destroys the future of everyone it involves.

Frustrating lapses in audio track.

Excellent book & performance overall. Really frustrated in that secondary voices were all inaudible or dropped altogether, eg in phone conversations. It’s like there was meant to be another track layer which hadn’t been edited in. This was especially annoying near the end, when significant explanation of the resolution for one family was completely lost as it was on the other end of a “phone conversation”.

Narrator needs a good producer

I have always enjoyed books from this author, but the choppy narration detracts from the story.

Excellent book, just what you’d expect from a superb author.

Such a difficult topic to have as the basis of a novel, but wonderfully handled.
I fully understand the choice of narrator. She gave wealth to the narrative through her range of African accents.
I truly enjoyed the story and didn’t want it to end.
