Rating 4/5
Elizabeth George is one of the master's of suspense. I find that a lot of mystery/suspense novels are written very simply and a fast read such as Dan Brown and James Patterson. George is the opposite. Her writing styles is much more involved.
A Place of Hiding is part of the Detective Lynley series, but he is a minor player this time. The sleuths are Simon and Deborah St. James who usually just assist. It takes place on a small island where Guy Brouard is killed. Deborah's friend China River is arrested for the murder. Deborah and Simon team up to find the answer to the murder. China claims she's innocent only having arrived on the island from California and never meeting Brouard before. There are other people with motives for wanting him dead.
