Playing for the Ashes
Playing for the Ashes | Elizabeth George
4 posts | 18 read | 2 to read
"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 bestseller, 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 readers "search out the sleuthing pair's first six adventures...a treasure," as Cosmopolitan predicted in their review. From the Paperback edition.

A good one to get me out of a reading funk I seem to have wandered into. Elizabeth George can usually pull me out!

I've been floundering around with my reading. Nothing is sticking. I've stated and stopped 4 books already. Today I searched and searched to see what might be what I'm looking for to fill this emptiness... Years ago I was given the suggestion of Elizabeth George to pull me from my slump back then. So I decided to try one that I haven't read yet since she is always great at pulling me out of my slump.

Annl I always have an Elizabeth George book on the go. Her books are my “comfort reading”. 5y

#funphotofriday I'm not a big sports lover, I've never played sport & the only sport I've watched has been soccer, coz my kids played and rugby league. So the only book about sport I could find, other than quidditch, is this Inspector Lynley novel about a famous English cricketer who gets murdered. Best I could do I'm afraid, nerd from birth, that's me.

JulieAnn Love this series! 8y
Lizpixie @kaysreadinglife @JulieAnn I know right, I have the whole series. It's just the only book I have that only even tangentially touches upon a sport. I was always the girl who had a note for P.E, the only time I played was neighbourhood cricket on the road with a garbage can as stumps.🤓 8y
