A Suitable Vengeance

Description for A SUITABLE VENGEANCE by Elizabeth George:

Inspector Thomas Lynley, the eighth earl of Asherton, has brought to Howenstow, his family home, the young woman he has asked to be his bride. But the savage murder of a local journalist is the catalyst for a lethal series of events that shatters the calm of a picturesque Cornwall village and embroils Lynley and forensic scientist Simon Allcourt-St. James in a case far outside their jurisdiction - and a little too close to home. When a second death follows closely on the heels of the first, Lynley finds he can't help taking the investigation personally - because the evidence points to a killer within his own family.

This is #4 in A Thomas Lynley/Barbara Havers Mystery.
