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

'I can't put them down once I start reading' Reader review
'A great book, you just get immersed in it!' Reader review
'Even if you enjoyed the TV series, the book is better' Reader review
'One of George's best, it kept me guessing right up to the end' Reader review
'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!'
Kenneth Branagh

'Elizabeth George writes with wonderful confidence and a great sense of place. By the end of the first chapter I was hooked, the proof of a really good story'
Rosamunde Pilcher

'Ingenious . . . It is very well and subtly done'
Sunday Times

'A fascinating psychological picture of people under pressure'
Penelope Fitzgerald

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

'Cunningly deceptive'
Scotsman
