Summary
"The story begins with my father, actually, and the fact that I'm the one who's answerable for his death. It was not my first crime, as you will see, but it is the one my mother couldn't forgive."
In her astonishing New York Times best-seller, acclaimed author Elizabeth George reveals the even darker truth behind this startling confession. Playing for the Ashes is a rich tale of passion, murder, and love in which Inspector Thomas Lynley and Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers once again find themselves embroiled in a case where nothing - and no one - is really what it seems.
Intense, suspenseful, and brilliantly written, Playing for the Ashes will make listeners "search out the sleuthing pair's first six adventures...a treasure", as Cosmopolitan predicted in their review.

Gripping and complex
The plot is very interestingly laid out and the characters have depth that goes beyond a whodunnit. The best Lynely book out of the first five available to me on Audible.

Playing for the ashes
Well read but awful content. Gratuitous revo!ting passages of sex and cruelty when all that is required is an entertaining whodunnit
