Well Schooled in Murder (Inspector Lynley Mysteries 03)

Well-Schooled in Murder (Inspector Lynley #3) - Elizabeth  George After reading this book I noticed the series on TV and I have to say that the characters are quite well mirrored on both. Lynley is constantly fighting the perception that he isn't comitted to the job, that this is just a hobby for him and Havers is constantly having to balance her life and her work. This story has her having to face up to her father's increasing incapacity and her mother's descent into Altzheimers. It's an interesting balance of characters and our two heroes use the strengths that they bring to the situations well. The murder in this story is of a young boy, a scholarship boy in a British Boarding School who turns up in a graveyard miles away from the school, naked and dead. Lynley knows one of the teachers from his school days. As the story unravels there's layers upon layers and things, while pretty predictable, are well drawn out. This is a series I really will have to start reading. I got enough from the characters that reading things out of sequence doesn't seem to matter much but I think I may start at the beginning and work my way through things. Not a keeper but close.
