With No One as Witness

(By the way, the villain of the piece calls himself Fu, after the Chinese symbol...) Without trying to reveal much more of the plot than is already on the back cover, well, a serial killer in London is taking his victims, a fact the police only start putting together after they find the fourth and first white young boy- and the Scotland Yard higher-ups start panicking when they realize what the tabloids will do with this collection of pieces of information (never mind that none of the newspapers had seen that even what information they had showed a pattern, either). So Detectives Thomas Lynley and Barbara Havers (regulars in this series, absent from one - maybe two? - of the novels in it I think...) find this case managed from the top in ways that ... do not help at all. They still seem to be on the trail of the killer when one of the worst and most painful "wrenches" the author has thrown in about a dozen books' worth of them... The book itself is wonderfully written as usual (and full of empathy for the characters, clever touches, the usual that brings me back to my favorite authors and makes me wonder as usual why I took quite awhile to get back to reading this series, not counting a really good adaptation last summer seen on TV) and I'm glad I read this too, not "despite" the saddening ending but - well, I know she's written one this year or at least since, and want to see where she's taken her characters next...
