Well-Schooled in Murder (Abridged) Audiobook

" Just wasn't doing it for me. I don't think I'll continue with this series after all. "

" An excellent story and very convoluted. Lynley and Havers at their best. "

" I prefer the BBC TV series to the books. I don't usually say that. I'll probably keep trying the books, though. "

" Another great Lynley/Havers mystery "

" Really great book, I enjoyed it a lot! "

" One of the best crime novelists ever. Imagine - an American writing about a British aristocratic detective - and succeeding.Excellent book "

" Typical Inspector Lynley series from Elizabeth George. Chocked full of mysterious avenues to explore , plus the inspector's ever present love life. Good strong writing and will keep you interested. "

" I am hooked on the Lynley & Havers & St. James series. Love them all. "

" Tis is a good one. "

" Another excellent read from Ms. George. "

" Love that the main characters are real people...not easy to do in this type of book. Mystery aspect was great as well... "

" This is the first book of this author that I have read. Quite good with multiple twists and turns of plots. I like the Inspector Lynley series on TV. "

" I'm enjoying this series and this one did not disappoint. "

" This one was pretty squicky, but I had no clue who did it (but then I usually don't). Framed by the usual personal angst. "

" Solide Spannung, lebendige Charaktere und eine ausgereifte Handlung, wie nicht anders erwartet und gewohnt von Elizabeth George. "

" Another great Inspector Lynley and Sergent Havers story, not only well-tooled but giving an interesting look into the class differences among the English. "

" Decent mystery wrapped in Elizabeth George's overwrought prose. I'm reading these in order, but I'm already totally sick of the protagonist's soap opera. I focus on the whodunit. "

" Good series. Well written. Keep a dictionary handy "

" intricate plot twists; absorbing "

" Another well-written murder mystery. A boy is found outside the fence of a graveyard. He is a scholarship boy at a public school. Was the murder based on racism, bigotry, class or what? The subplot of the main characters' lives advances. Not giving anything away. "

" One of the best of this series. Good characters, plot typically a bit unconvincing. "

" Sick and wrong and awesome. "

" This is an amazing crime fiction, very complex and chilling, highly critical of social class. The subject matter is very disturbing. She explores social problems, class snobbery, and abuse of students, strained relationships, pedophilia and homosexuality. This novel is well worth reading. "

" Another great mystery read. "

" Not my favorite Lynley entry, but overall well done. "

" I liked this better than #2, in general I do not like the gory, grittiness of death and murder. The author is good at character which I like and the story is suspenseful and full of twists (also, like). Obviously I like her enough to continue on the series.... "

" This one is set in a boarding school. Again there is a complex and well-developed story, with layers of personal insight into the lives of Lynley, St. James, et. al. "

" I always enjoy a mystery that offers up a range of plausible suspects, and George definitely delivers that here. "

" I just love reading the Inspector Lynley murder series, and this book was no different. It had so many possible suspects; I never would have guessed the ending. Also, it explained a lot about the relationships of the main characters from earlier times together, so that was an added bonus. "

" I liked this better than the first of her books I read. "

" After the horrible Payment in Blood, this one was surprisingly enjoyable. The plot was interesting and you could actually care about the characters. The detectives weren't making boneheaded deviations at least. "

" Another great mystery read. "

" Exceedingly well written, but very heavy and sad. "

" Good reading if you like mysteries! "

" This book had a lot of twists! The last 30 pages are the best! "

" One of the best Inspector Lynley books I've read - possibly because I hadn't already seen a TV adaptation of it, but the story itself was also very good: for once, I didn't guessed who dunnit until a fair way into the book! "

" Wow, I think this was the best one yet! The detectives themselves complained about having too many leads and too much information--George kept me guessing all the way to the end. "

" This is the 3rd in the Lynley series, and I liked this one the best so far because it had so many layers to it. The murderer was definitely not some one I had considered. "

" Another excellent read from Ms. George. "

" A winding mystery and drama centered on a private school in England where a 13 year old boy was murdered and both faculty and fellow students may be involved. Kept me guessing to the end! "

" Just as enjoyable as A Great Deliverence. What you don't get from the series just makes a great read! I love Lynley and Havers in the series, but the characters are much better defined and it's easier to understand their motivations. I can't wait to read the next in the series. "

" Not my favorite Lynley entry, but overall well done. "

" This is such an excellent book; I can't wait to read another one in the Inspector Lynley series. 400+ pages is long for a murder mystery, but this was in many ways a literary novel - not a classic, mind you - but so well written: descriptive, evocative, emotional, gripping. I highly recommend it. "
