With No One as Witness A Page-Turning Mystery Featuring Thomas Lynley, now appearing on BBC1 and iPlayer

Spannend, wie üblich bei dieser Authorin kann die Lektüre kaum unterbrochen werden. Mehrere parallel laufende Handlungen bringen die verschiedenen Akteure dem Leser nahe. Eine Inspector Linley Story vom Feinsten.Top.

With a book series, there is always the question if it’s necessary to have read all the proceeding volumes. In this case, I recommend it because, in this novel, the author writes about past events very thoroughly and a lot, which may cause trouble for readers who haven’t read any of the last books. All the others, give it a try. You will soon get quite fond of the main characters. There is a gripping plot, with side stories completing the full logical understanding, many twists and turns to keep the reader interested to the end. Although I am used to the authors writing style, I had problems immersing myself in the book. Some passages were so interesting that I thought maybe now it takes up the pace, only to be disappointed a few pages later. In my opinion, the book is too long and some parts too distracting to be kept on track of the story itself. Because I like the characters and the plot, I will read the next novel of the inspector Linley series too. There are still too many open questions, which I hope to find in the following volumes. Enjoyable for crime and thriller lovers who already know the characters around Linley to, all the others who want to give it a try and do not shy away from a challenge.
