Co-presented with HEDGEBROOK. We are delighted to be in on part of the beginning of the publication life of award-winning mystery author Elizabeth George's newest Inspector Lynley novel, This Body of Death (Harper). With a body of twenty-three books, she is widely considered one of the finest mystery novelists at work anywhere, presently dividing her time between London—and Whidbey Island. The setting for This Body of Death is a decidedly Anglo one—beginning with the discovery of a murdered young woman in a London cemetery. A mystery and more within the mystery unfold as Scotland Yard's Thomas Lynley and former partner Barbara Havers take up the trail. It's riveting, arresting Elizabeth George—at her finest.
Start: 7:00 pm
