À propos de cet audio
After writing 16 Inspector Lynley novels, New York Times best-selling author Elizabeth George has millions of fans waiting for the next one. As USA Today put it, "It's tough to resist George's storytelling, once hooked." With Believing the Lie, she's poised to hook countless more.
Inspector Thomas Lynley is mystified when he's sent undercover to investigate the death of Ian Cresswell at the request of the man's uncle, the wealthy and influential Bernard Fairclough. The death has been ruled an accidental drowning, and nothing on the surface indicates otherwise. But when Lynley enlists the help of his friends Simon and Deborah St. James, the trio's digging soon reveals that the Fairclough clan is awash in secrets, lies, and motives.
Deborah's investigation of the prime suspect - Bernard's prodigal son Nicholas, a recovering drug addict - leads her to Nicholas's wife, a woman with whom she feels a kinship, a woman as fiercely protective as she is beautiful. Lynley and Simon delve for information from the rest of the family, including the victim's bitter ex-wife and the man he left her for, and Bernard himself. As the investigation escalates, the Fairclough family's veneer cracks, with deception and self-delusion threatening to destroy everyone from the Fairclough patriarch to Tim, the troubled son Ian left behind.

"A multiplicity of subplots and a richness of physical detail.... The terrain and the weather are objective correlatives to the characters' stormy patches. Meanwhile, the story strands are untied and retied in satisfying and often moving ways." (The Wall Street Journal)
"Elizabeth George is a superstar of the crime-fiction world, British Inspector Division. Deservedly so: Her tales always provide nuanced character studies and insights into social issues along with their intricate mysteries." (The Seattle Times)
"Devilishly complicated." (Entertainment Weekly)

ONLY SO, SO!
It is extremely unfortunate that the author chose to kill off such an integral character as the inspector's wife.
A decidedly main character. For anyone who has been a regular reader is it not hard to understand how much one had invested in her story and the wonderful character she was.
SORRY; SPOILER...It is impossible to replace her.
Her removal also sets Det. Linley back to a place where he is now"less", and there is nothing the author can do to rescue him.
The introduction of a new love interest is annoying, off character and demeans hims
POINT: TRANSVESTITES; MEN WHO CHOSE TO DRESS AS WOMAN ARE NOT HOMOSEXUAL. I REPEATEDLY COME ACROSS THIS AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON FOR AN AUTHOR, EDITOR, PUBLISHER TO NOT RELEASE A BOOK WITH SUCH MISINFORMATION.
SHAME!

Disorganized story
Disorganize story, hard to figure out all the characters. It is a different writing style then she usually has. Seems to be disorganized from what I read from her before.

Lackluster
The narration was dry. I lost interest serval times but persevered as I’d already downloaded the book. The story was not captivating and lacked intrigue. The characters were not well developed and it was hard to care about any of them.

Homophobic trash
I was appalled at this story. George metes out the death penalty for the gay or trans characters, while the heteros live happily ever after. She has several characters voicing the most vile homophobic vitriol I have ever encountered... to the point that the author's own position is abundantly clear. I will never read another one of her books. I feel sickened by this. Oh, and it will be a relief never to hear the simpering, self indulgent whine of Deborah St. James, too.
