A Cambridge university student is found murdered in this shocking novel in the bestselling series that inspired BBC's Lynley

'I'm usually pretty sharp about whodunnit, but I sure didn't guess this one and I doubt if any reader will' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reader review
Elena Weaver exuded intelligence and sexuality. A student at St Stephen's College, Cambridge, she lived a life of casual but intense physical and emotional relationships, with high standards and even higher aspirations.
Until someone, lying in wait on the bank of the River Cam, bludgeoned her to death.
Called into the rarefied world of academia, Inspector Thomas Lynley and his partner Barbara Havers find a tangled web of love, obsession and secrets to die for.
Praise for For the Sake of Elena
'Elizabeth George's best book yet. This is a first-rate mystery with powerful underlying themes which take us beyond the realms of detective fiction. Excellent!'

Rosamunde Pilcher
'Ingenious . . . It is very well and subtly done'

Penelope Fitzgerald
'Fast paced and believable with strong, well-rounded characters and an absorbing background'
