Then\, while in police custody\, Ian is found dead. Did he kill himself? Or was he murdered? \nWhen Barbara Havers is sent to Ludlow to investigate the chain of events that led to Ian’s death\, all the evidence points to suicide. But Barbara can’t shake the feeling that she’s missing something. She decides to take a closer look at the seemingly ordinary inhabitants of Ludlow–mainly elderly retirees and college students–and discovers that almost everyone in town has something to hide. \nA masterful work of suspense\, The Punishment She Deserves sets Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers and Inspector Thomas Lynley against one of their most intricate cases. Fans of the longtime series will love the many characters from Elizabeth George’s previous novels who join Lynley and Havers\, and readers new to the series will quickly see why she is one of the most popular and critically acclaimed writers of our time. Both a page-turner and a deeply complex story about the lies we tell\, the lies we believe\, and the redemption we need\, this novel will be remembered as one of George’s best. \n\nAbout the author\n\nElizabeth George is the New York Times bestselling author of twenty psychological suspense novels\, four young adult novels\, one book of nonfiction\, and two short-story collections. Her work has been honored with the Anthony and Agatha awards\, two Edgar nominations\, and both France’s and Germany’s first prize for crime fiction\, as well as several other prestigious prizes. She lives in Washington State. \n\nAbout the moderator\n\nKevin O’Brien is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of over twenty suspense novels.
