Believing the Lie by Elizabeth George
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This may be the last long - 608pp. - book I read in print. It's getting hard to hold on to such a long book for a long time. The Nook is sounding better and better.

Inspector Lynley is sent to the Lake District for a little off-the-record investigating. AC Hillier, Lynley's superior, asks him to look into the supposed drowning a wealthy friend's nephew. The victim slipped, fell, and drowned getting out of his scull in the dark. The only question, is did someone loosen the stone that slipped, or had it become loose? Soon, Simon & Deborah St. James arrive to give some expert advice. While this trio are skulking around, pretending to be on holiday, there is also a tabloid reporter trying to dig up some dirt on the Fairclough family. Lynley and Simon St. James cannot find any evidence of a crime, but the investigation itself leads to the destruction of several people's lives.
