Resumen del Editor
"The story begins with my father, actually, and the fact that I'm the one who's answerable for his death. It was not my first crime, as you will see, but it is the one my mother couldn't forgive."
In her astonishing New York Times best-seller, acclaimed author Elizabeth George reveals the even darker truth behind this startling confession. Playing for the Ashes is a rich tale of passion, murder, and love in which Inspector Thomas Lynley and Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers once again find themselves embroiled in a case where nothing - and no one - is really what it seems.
Intense, suspenseful, and brilliantly written, Playing for the Ashes will make listeners "search out the sleuthing pair's first six adventures...a treasure", as Cosmopolitan predicted in their review.
Reseñas de la Crítica
"A perfect choice for anyone in the market for first-rate summer fiction." (The Sun, Baltimore)
"Those who haven't discovered Elizabeth George ... should rush to read Playing for the Ashes." (Us Magazine)
"Gritty and satisfying." (New Yorker)

Historia
Twenty years ago, 16-year-old Tara Martin disappeared from a small town in the heart of England. Now, her sudden return and the mind-bending tale of where she’s been will challenge our very perception of the truth. For 20 years after Tara Martin disappeared, her parents and her brother, Peter, lived in denial of the grim fact that she was gone for good. Then suddenly on Christmas Day, the doorbell rings at her parents’ home, and there, dishevelled and slightly peculiar looking, Tara stands. It’s a miracle, but alarm bells are ringing for Peter. Tara’s story just does not add up.

Little Brian Wilcox's murder is the hottest story in Scotland. Every major newspaper crowds its pages with stories examining the crime from every angle. If only Paddy Meehan could get a scoop on the case. A nationally syndicated story would surely launch her fledgling journalism career out of the free local rag she's been working at.

He provides him with fatherly career advice (always carry a knife, for example) and is determined they should share the joys of pit bulls (fed with lots of Tabasco sauce), Internet porn, and all manner of more serious criminality. Des, on the other hand, desires nothing more than books to read and a girl to love .

She believes that the world is a messy, uncontrollable place. The abduction of five-year-old Matthew Farraday provokes a national outcry and a desperate police hunt. And when his face is splashed over the newspapers, Frieda cannot ignore the coincidence: one of her patients has been having dreams in which he has a hunger for just such a child.

Nobody who ever stood at his side has a bad word to say about him. And yet there are rumors that Luther is bad - not corrupt, not on the take, but tormented. He seethes with a hidden fury that at times he can barely control. Sometimes it sends him to the brink of madness, making him do things he shouldn’t - things well beyond the limits of the law.

The murderee is Nicola Six, a "black hole" of sex and self-loathing who is intent on orchestrating her own extinction. The murderer may be Keith Talent, a violent lowlife whose only passions are pornography and darts; or the rich, honorable, and dimly romantic Guy Clinch. As Nicola leads her suitors towards the precipice, London--and, indeed, the whole world--seems to shamble after them in a corrosively funny novel of complexity and morality.

Historia
To this day, the low, thin wail of an infant can be heard in Keldale's lush green valleys. Three hundred years ago, as legend goes, the frightened Yorkshire villagers smothered a crying babe in Keldale Abbey, where they'd hidden to escape the ravages of Cromwell's raiders. Now into Keldale's pastoral web of old houses and older secrets comes Scotland Yard Inspector Thomas Lynley, the eighth earl of Asherton. Along with the redoubtable Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers, Lynley has been sent to solve a savage murder that has stunned the peaceful countryside.

Best one yet in the series
A whopping good read with a large number of possible suspects to the murder of a famous English cricket player found asphyxiated in his bed in the cottage he shared with his mistress. As is becoming normal with George's characters, the personal relationships are featured but don't take over the book, there are side-plots aplenty that introduce the reader to animal rights activism, cricket leagues and culture, and now introduced Barbara Havers new neighbors...an attractive Pakistani gentleman and his 8 year old daughter ("My mother is on vacation in Canada"). Is there a future romance for Barbara? The runup to the reveal at the end is one of the best I've read this year. Again, I had read this years ago, but didn't remember how it ended, so the pleasure was there again.

Intriguing Mystery
I really liked this book. To be honest, it's long and I felt an emotional toll after I finished it. It included some realities that are hard to think about but I feel the author did a really good job. In places, my heart ached. Through the characters you were able to see and feel how making bad choices affected not only themselves but their loved ones.
There were a few different storylines going on and even after listening to 3/4 of the book I could not see how these were all going to be brought together, let alone solve the mystery. However, the author was able to tie everything up and the mystery had a surprise ending.
This is not a "fluff" mystery. Readers who are looking for an intriguing mystery that will make them think and reflect will enjoy this book.

Extraordinary
Of all the Lynley novels this is the most satisfying. All our inner circle are there, but several other worlds are meticulously and sensuously created and intertwined. I wish you joy!

My Favorite Elizabeth George novel so far
For the past couple years, I have been working my way through the Elizabeth George novels that feature Inspector Lynley and Barbara Havers. I believe that this one is my favorite so far. There’s so much mystery and intrigue, and the way the story is woven is amazing. The characters seem so real to me and I get very connected to their stories. I’ll be very sad when I end the series which is going to be soon if not already. I’d recommend this book to anyone who loves a good mystery with a twist to it. It takes you until the end to figure things out.

Best Lynley so far
This was an engaging and thought-provoking novel—deeper and more layered than the preceding (also very good) books in the series. Match that with Donada Peters’ excellent narration and character voices and George’s vivid prose, and the result is a great listen. My only disappointment in the series is that the main characters are flatter and less developed than the temporary characters around whom each mystery revolves. Nonetheless they are likable and interesting, and I seem to be along for the ride!

A lot to ponder
this story was darker than the previous books in the series and I initially felt that I didn't want to read it, but fortunately I kept going, and I was pulled right in. The strength of love and the human response to love or it's lack is explored through romantic, parent -child, and friendship relationships. The plot develops carefully giving weight to several possibilities without revealing the mystery until the end.
