For the Sake of Elena

A party loving, smart deaf girl is murdered whilst jogging, Lynley and Havers are on the case, but is it an isolated incident. I think that this is the best of the early Inspector Lynley Mysteries, it's a cracking mystery, with a smart plot, satisfying conclusion, and a terrific set of characters. There is just the right amount of personal problems for both Detectives, with Havers having to try and work, and deal with her poor mum. Cambridge looks magical, fans of the Granchester series will recognise some of the side streets used. The acting is first class, Tim Piggot Smith, Selina Cadell, and Sophie Ward. Twenty years on, and Sophie Ward's character Justine, still looks so very modern, great actress, and so very beautiful. Thoroughly enjoyed this, 8/10.
