From Library Journal

Popular detective duo Thomas Lynley and Barbara Havers, last spotted in In the Presence of the Enemy (LJ 2/1/96), find murder in a small Essex village.
Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From School Library Journal

YA?Detective Barbara Havers is now on her own. Her partner, the glamorous Lord Lynley, and the even more glamorous Lady Helen are off on their honeymoon and the decidedly less-than-glamorous Havers is to recuperate from extensive wounds suffered in their previous case. She declines an invitation by her neighbor and good friend, eight-year-old Hadiyyah, to join her and her somewhat remote professorial father on a trip to the seaside. Somewhat to her chagrin, however, Havers finds herself worrying about the ostensibly naive father as she hears disturbing news of murder and racial unrest in the same coastal town. She goes to Balford only to land in the middle of a tangled web woven around the murder of the fiance of the young daughter of a wealthy Pakistani business man. The plot is well developed, the red herrings many and varied, and the social commentary on the racial unease in England is well handled. Havers emerges as a more sympathetic character here, and readers get the feeling she is beginning to "get a life." YAs will enjoy the engrossing mystery with deft characterizations.?Susan H.

2.0étoiles sur 5 Surprised at all the positive reviews for this novel, Oct. 18 2002
Par Un client
This review is from: Deception on His Mind (Audio Cassette)
I bought this novel as "holiday reading," and, having nothing else, read it to the end. I was disappointed, however. It's not on a par with George's other novels. I agree with the reviewers who say that the characters are one-dimensional and that the ending (both the boat chase and the revelation about who killed the victim) are over-dramatic and unbelievable. I also agree that too many threads are left hanging. The writer doesn't have to describe everyone's future in detail, but some suggestion as to how their lives will continue, once this book ends, would be welcome.

One more pet peeve: George introduces too many "Americanisms" into her characters' speech. I've nothing against Americanisms, but as a rule people in England just don't speak like that. (I know: I lived in England for many years). A good editor should catch those before the book goes to print.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Another Shining Star in the Mystery Genre, Aoû 22 2000
Par Carla M.Golden (Tacoma, Washington United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
I read the hardback edition of this book last summer after checking it out from my local library. I had become a fan of Elizabeth George after hearing Derek Jacobi narrate''In The Presence Of The Enemy'', and, once again, I was pleased to find that Ms.George has skillfully blended the element of mystery with a lesson in culture, the case this time concerning a Pakistani immigrant and his young daughter. It helps the reader gain a better understanding of this particular group of people, as well as allowing them to spend a little more time getting to know Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers as a person separate from her partner, Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley, while still enjoying the thrill of helping Havers solve the case! A well-rounded piece of work, indeed!

5.0étoiles sur 5 Excellent, like all of its predecessors, Jui 9 2000
Par Stan Vernooy (Henderson, NV) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
I consider Elizabeth George to be the best living writer of mysteries, by a wide margin. In this book, Barbara Havers goes more or less "solo" by getting involved in a case outside of London where she is supposed to be on vacation. In addition to being a superb mystery, this book examines the racial friction generated by the influx of Pakistani immigrants into a seaside resort town in England. I can't speak for the accuracy of her analysis, but her portrayals of the cultural misunderstandings between the police and the immigrant community ring true to my ears. I don't recommend this book as your introduction to Elizabeth George's mysteries. The previous books introduce both of the main characters, Havers and her boss, Inspector Lynley. This book makes several references to the things she learned from Lynley, and to their partnership. The reader will understand those references much better if (s)he has read at least one of the previous books. However, I want to vehemently disagree with a couple of previous reviewers who downgraded this book on the grounds that Havers is a less interesting character than the absent Lynley. I think Havers is a MUCH more interesting character than the pampered and superficial Lynley. I didn't miss him at all in this book. As always, George's writing, characterizations, and plotting put her in a class of her own among mystery writers. This is not a little paperback for an afternoon; it's a real novel. If you love mysteries or if you simply love well-written, thought-provoking fiction, you should read every one of Elizabeth George's books.
