Resumen del Editor
Award-winning author Elizabeth George gives us an early glimpse into the lives of Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley, forensic scientist Simon Allcourt-St. James, and Lady Helen Clyde in a superlative mystery that is also a fascinating inquiry into the crimes of the heart.
Lynley, the eighth earl of Asherton, has brought to Howenstow, his family home, the young woman he has asked to be his bride. But the savage murder of a local journalist is the catalyst for a lethal series of events that shatters the calm of a picturesque Cornwall village and embroils Lynley and St. James in a case far outside their jurisdiction - and a little too close to home. When a second death follows closely on the heels of the first, Lynley finds he can't help taking the investigation personally - because the evidence points to a killer within his own family.

During intermission at the famed La Fenice opera house in Venice, Italy, a notoriously difficult and widely disliked German conductor is poisoned—and suspects abound. Guido Brunetti, a native Venetian, sets out to unravel the mystery behind the high-profile murder. To do so, he calls on his knowledge of Venice, its culture, and its dirty politics. Along the way, he finds the crime may have roots going back decades—and that revenge, corruption, and even Italian cuisine may play a role.

As he tries to hide the truth, Monk returns to work and is assigned to investigate the brutal murder of a Crimean War hero and man about town.

His name, they tell him, is William Monk, and he is a London police detective. But the accident that felled him has left him with only half a life; his memory and his entire past have vanished. As he tries to hide the truth, Monk returns to work and is assigned to investigate the brutal murder of a Crimean War hero and man about town. Which makes Monk’s efforts doubly difficult, since he’s forgotten his professional skills along with everything else.

Vintage Lynley -- 1991 was a VERY good year!
This book belongs in the annals of the "good old days" of Thomas Lynley novels. Obviously, characters and situations change in series--but in reading this book (about the 4th or 5th in the series) I was reminded how very much this series has altered over the years, not always for the best. Many of the main people in the more recent books were never even a part of the early ones. And these are the characters that we originally got to know and love--sadly, they rarely, if ever, appear any more.
That being said, this book opens with Inspector Thomas Lynley (who is actually Lord Asherton) bringing his fiancee to his ancestral home, to celebrate his engagement. Murder presents itself fairly quickly, and Lynley finds himself trying to handle this new challenge.
Present are those whom I consider to be the core characters of the early books--Deborah Cotter & her father, who is the butler for Simon Allcourt-St.James, Helen Clyde--who assists in police investigations (and will become more important in future books) and Lynley's family. This book in particular lays out more of the back story of who Lynley is, how he has come to have some attitudes that show up in other books but with fewer explanations. And frankly, just as a mystery novel, this one is far superior to her more recent selections. I've read every one--am a great fan of the series--but I had forgotten how much more engaging the early ones were.
Somewhere along the line, Elizabeth George decided to go in a different direction with characters and plots. I understand change happens, but I sure do miss these old, original books. Plan to listen to them all for the sheer pleasure of the interaction among this set of people. Just one tiny thing--Davina Porter, who is an exceptionally good narrator, does not seem at her best in this one. I found a few of the voices uncomfortable to listen to--however, not so much that I would lower the stars because of it. She is still a very good reader of this book. Highly recommend!

Good Backstory
It's interesting to see how the complicated dynamic between Lynley, St James, Helen and Deborah developed. The Havers cameo was perfect. I'd love to see more of Peter and Sydney - Lady Ashford, too.
The thing that really worked against the story was the narrator. Every character voice sounded either like nails on a chalkboard, or like the character was drugged to near unconsciousness.
A different narrator, and this would be a solid 4, at the least.

I'm sorry, but I can't stand Davina Porter
What did you love best about A Suitable Vengeance?
It's an excellent, complex story that highlights the history of Elizabeth George's characters, while also containing a murder mystery of its own.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
It's not precisely an "edge of your seat" kind of mystery. It develops slowly, with in-depth explorations of characterizations.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Davina Porter?
Simon Vance if a man. Jennifer Ikeda if a woman. Or someone, anyone, who can manage to portray a warm male voice.
Thomas Lynley is, surprise surprise, the central character of the Lynley Mysteries. I love the books, but I find it difficult to listen to the audio books narrated by Porter, because she gets Lynley completely wrong. She makes him sound like an uptight irritating prig with no gentleness or compassion, when it is precisely these characteristics (gentleness and compassion) that are central to his character in the books. He is one of my favorite characters in literature, but Porter makes him sound downright unlikeable.

Love story with a short murder case
The murder itself is very simple. 80% of the book is spent on the relationship among the 3 main characters. Kind of bored by it. But the narrater did a great job. She's the only reason that kept me finishing the book.

Good book and best narrator!
Davina Porter is the best narrator on Audible! She could read the phonebook and make it come alive.

One of my fav Lynleys
This the book that provides the most backstory to the main characters in early books, which for me are the best in the series. EG starts to play with the cast as the series evolves and we hardly ever see the earlier mainstays again. I miss them. Sad to say, Davina Porter does not do as well with this series as she does others. I think she is among the best readers but she doesn't do these characters justice. The rasp in Simon's voice and Lynley's cold arrogance, the overdone Cornish accents for many of the Howenstow characters -- all seem out of place to me. But, nevertheless, these earlier books I am happy to listen to more than once.

Not Book 4 or 3. Probably Book 1
This is definitely book 1 or 2 not 3 or 4 as Audible suggests.
It's slow to get rolling due to character and backstory development. It's a struggle to get to the middle where it finally takes off.
The research seems weak, leaves one questioning the time and dates, but if a first book, understandable and even forgiveable. As a 4th book, it would certainly lead to questioning the writers skills.
In this book, Simon and Deborah are not a couple, while in the first 3 they are married. Here we learn the history of Linley and Deborah in first person; 3 books into the series??
As you listen you'll find the inconsistencies frustrating if like me, you read a series in order.
I've looked, apparently, this is seen as book 4. Seriously read it first.

Narration spoils this story
Although the narration kept me listening to the end, the narrator is inept at masculine voices, making them unattractively harsh. And further, she drops into a dreamy voice at the least provocation. I will try to avoid her in future choices.

Read This Book First Even Though It's Fourth
Would you consider the audio edition of A Suitable Vengeance to be better than the print version?
I don't know. I wished I had the printed book a couple of times so I could remind myself who a particular character was. There are a lot of characters being introduced.
What other book might you compare A Suitable Vengeance to and why?
I'm not sure about a book, but I would loosely compare Elizabeth George's characters and story lines to an episode of Sherlock Holmes or Midsummer Murders.
Which character – as performed by Davina Porter – was your favorite?
Lady Helen
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
It's way too long for that, but I definitely didn't want to put it down. I enjoy Elizabeth George and the Lynley series.
Any additional comments?
This author has become one of my favorites. She's an excellent writer with believable character development. You begin to feel as though you know them all personally and get emotionally involved in the story. This wasn't my favorite Lynley mystery, but believe me George doesn't write a bad book, they're all great mysteries with lots of twists and turns. This is the 4th book in the series but the story actually precedes the first 3 books so you could read it first.
