This is an older George title in her Inspector Lynley series. Although I’ve read most of George’s mysteries, I missed this one. This is one of the first books I listened to on Overdrive after downloading the book to my iPhone. I had trouble getting it onto my older MP3 player, but it worked on the iPhone. After Thomas’ pregnant wife is murdered, he wanders off from his job at Scotland Yard not caring where he goes or where he ends up. Of course, in his ramblings he comes across a dead body. A young boy is found dead at the bottom of a cove apparently fallen from an accidental rock climbing jaunt. Except it wasn’t an accident. George is at her best describing the residents of the seaside village taking the reader (listener) back decades to when the murderer was wronged and set out to get revenge. The narrator was excellent. I wish there were more of her books I’d missed.
