      Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers and Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley are back in the next Lynley novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth George. Michael Lobb has just been found dead on the floor of his family’s tin & pewter workshop. It’s suspicious enough that his body was found by a representative of EcoMining, a company keen on acquiring his family’s land, and it’s made even worse when he’s revealed to have been the majority owner of the business and the sole obstacle preventing a deal from being made. But it doesn’t take long for Detective Beatrice Hannaford to unearth the layers of estrangement that surrounded Michael in his final days, pointing suspicions elsewhere. In comes Kayla, a young woman half Michaels’ age, who has just been made a widow. Detective Inspectors Thomas Lynley and Barbara Havers are brought in to help solve the crime and search for justice amid a community that already trusts no one and fears any outsiders.

    • ... du aber übertriffst sie alle

      Wahre Schönheit nach dem Vorbild der Frau aus Sprüche 31

      • 244 pages
      • 9 hours of reading

      Elizabeth George führt ihre Leserinnen durch Sprüche 31 – eines der lehrreichsten Kapitel der Bibel über die in Gottes Augen bewundernswerte Frau. Die bekannte Autorin verdeutlicht auf ihre unnachahmliche Art, was bei Gott wahre Schönheit ist und zeigt, wie sein „Erfolgsplan“ im Alltag umgesetzt werden kann. So können Frauen auf geistreiche und praktische Weise lernen, wie jeder Tag ihres Lebens Frucht für Gott hervorbringt, und sie erkennen, welches Wohlgefallen Gott an einer Frau hat, die sich nicht nach dem Zeitgeist richtet, sondern nach dem Wort Gottes lebt. Das umfasst Bereiche wie Kraftschöpfen aus Gottes Quellen und Beziehungsgestaltung nach geistlichen Prinzipien, aber auch organisierte Zielstrebigkeit und effektives Alltagsmanagement. Die Leserinnen werden ermutigt, sich täglich daran zu erfreuen, welche Stellung sie als Erlöste in Christus haben und was sie erreichen können, wenn sie den von ihm gezeigten Weg der wahren Schönheit gehen. Anmerkung der Betanien-Redaktion: Sprüche 31 ist bemerkenswerterweise an einen Mann gerichtet (eine Unterweisung an den Königssohn Lemuel von seiner Mutter), was die Autorin auch richtig herausstellt. Daher sind diese Verse nicht als Gebote für Frauen zu verstehen und keine Frau macht sich schuldig, wenn sie nicht alle aufgezählten Leistungen vollbringt (was einer normalsterblichen Frau auch kaum möglich wäre).

The death has been ruled an accidental drowning, and nothing on the surface indicates otherwise. But when Lynley enlists the help of his friends Simon and Deborah St. James, the trio's digging soon reveals that the Fairclough clan is awash in secrets, lies, and motives. Deborah's investigation of the prime suspect, Bernard's prodigal son Nicholas, a recovering drug addict, leads her to Nicholas' wife, a woman with whom she feels a kinship, a woman as fiercely protective as she is beautiful. Lynley and Simon delve for information from the rest of the family, including the victim's bitter ex-wife and the man he left her for, and Bernard himself. As the investigation escalates, the Fairclough family's veneer cracks, with deception and self-delusion threatening to destroy everyone from the Fairclough patriarch to Tim, the troubled son Ian left behind

      The shocking conclusion of Elizabeth George's previous bestseller, WITH NO ONE AS WITNESS, saw the wife of New Scotland Yard's Thomas Lynley gunned down in the street outside her home. Under arrest for the crime is a twelve-year-old boy, Joel Campbell. What possible motive could he have? What chain of events could have led such a child from the housing estates of North Kensington to the elegant streets of Belgravia with such deadly intent? The answer to these questions is a complex mixture of fate and circumstance. Abandoned (albeit involuntarily) by his parents, Joel and two siblings are dumped on the doorstep of his aunt's house. Kendra, childless and with two marriages behind her, is doing her best to turn her life around; responsibility for three troubled children is not what she had in mind. Drugs, neglect, violence and poverty are commonplace in North Kensington. Joel does his best to look out for his family, but that involves a Faustian pact. And the Devil will have his pay.
