The latest entry in George's Inspector Lynley series (after Believing the Lie) takes listeners to Italy when D.S. Barbara Havers's good friend Taymullah Azahar discovers that his girlfriend has disappeared with their daughter, Hadiyyah. Barbara involves herself in the search, hiring a private detective, then calling in Scotland Yard. Inspector Thomas Lynley is dispatched to Italy, where the situation accelerates when the child is apparently abducted. Then Barbara goes rogue, traveling to Lucca to aid Azahar. The Italian characters, especially Chief Inspector Salvatore Lo Bianco, add wit and depth as the complex novel unfolds. Series narrator Davina Porter adeptly changes voices, but the story is marathon in length and will perhaps overwhelm all but the most devoted fans.
VERDICT Only for those dedicated to not missing a single entry in the Inspector Lynley series. ["This is a must for fans of this series. The twists and turns are vintage George and do not disappoint," read the starred review of the Dutton hc, LJ 8/13.]
