About this listen
Don’t miss the upcoming BritBox streaming series Lynley!
“George proves that the classiest crime writers are true novelists.”—The New York Times
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 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.

“George goes to the head of the genre, with class.”—People
“P. D. James has a polished literary eloquence all her own, but George provides the same kind of sumptuous, all-out reading experience.”—Los Angeles Times
“Even more intricate than George’s deftly handled plot . . . are the paths etched by her anguished, memorable characters, as they struggle with the secrets of their hearts.”—Publishers Weekly
“The real pleasure and richness in this book come from the lush, detailed writing about unusual lives and relationships charged with complexity.”—Minneapolis Star Tribune
“A Suitable Vengeance is not only believable and unpredictable but offers beautifully written prose.”—Pittsburgh Press
“Readers will come away well satisfied.”—New York Daily News
“A Suitable Vengeance is one of those books that readers will race through to find out what’s happening . . . then will return to again, and maybe again, just for the sheer pleasure of it.”—Toledo Blade
