i just finished this, which is the first of The Inspector Lynley Mysteries. both Brian and i have been sucked into this series from watching the BBC Mystery marathon on one of the public channels over the holiday weekends.

now my sister is sucked in, too, because she gave the first 2 books to Brian for Christmas, and also bought this title for herself.

the only other mystery series i’ve read, and still sometimes read, is the Cat Who mysteries by Lillian Jackson Braun. they’ve changed over time, and are now so incredibly predictable, but when a new one comes out in paperback, i read it anway.

fortunately, A Great Deliverance isn’t at all predictable. i hope the rest of the series continues in that way.
