Just a few of Inspector Lynley’s mysteries. The Inspector Lynley Mysteries feature the most celebrated British detective duo in years: Inspector Thomas Lynley (Nathaniel Parker) and Sergeant Barbara Havers (Sharon Small). Over the course of more than 10 intriguing Elizabeth George novels, beginning with A Great Deliverance, Lynley and Havers have won millions of loyal fans. It’s no mystery why. Decidedly uppercrust detective Lynley and his partner Havers endure a marriage made at police headquarters. Lynley is suave, sophisticated, and the eighth Earl of Asherton. Havers is rumpled, resentful, and working class—with an inborn dislike of the highborn. Despite their differences, the sleuths evolve into a potent team, employing their cunning, intuition, and street smarts to unravel some of the most heinous—and suspenseful—crimes. Well-Schooled In Murder When a student from prestigious Bredgar Hall is found dead under bizarre circumstances, Lynley receives a call from an old school chum asking for help. The Inspector and Havers soon discover hints of impropriety among both masters and students and race to crack the case before more students come into harm’s way. Payment in Blood A playwright is murdered in her sleep on the eve of her new play’s debut, forcing Lynley and Havers to select from an entire cast of suspects. The mysterious drama is further complicated by Lynley’s deepening feelings for a woman involved with the play’s director, who is himself a prime suspect. For The Sake Of Elena The fog lifts over the green hills of Cambridge, revealing the lifeless body of a prominent professor’s daughter, a young woman admired for being fun-loving, popular, daring—and deaf. The mystery is far from academic as Lynley and Havers discover fatal twists that sealed the fate of one dysfunctional family. Missing Joseph A rural vicar is the victim of hemlock poisoning. Lynley and Havers discover that everyone from the local herbalist and her troubled teenage daughter to the local constable has a motive. The duo combs the countryside sifting for clues, and finally uncovers the secrets behind the murder. As Diana Rigg, the host of Mystery!, the venerable PBS series which premiered these films, observes, Inspector Lynley gives his partner, Barbara Havers, class, while she gives him nothing but grief. That's not quite the case, although by the final episode in this four-part series, they can be heard bantering like David and Maddie from Moonlighting. And what is that tentatively wistful look on Havers' face while Lynley regards his relationship with an unrequited love? The Inspector Lynley Mysteries reunites author Elizabeth George's mismatched partners first introduced onscreen in A Great Deliverance. Nathaniel Parker (Eddie Murphy's ghostly host in The Haunted Mansion) stars as Lynley, Oxford-educated detective, and eighth earl of Asherton. Sharon Small costars as Havers, a working class cop. Their class differences and personal prejudices are well delineated in 'Well Schooled in Murder,' set at a posh boarding school where a young student has been slain, and 'For the Sake of Elena,' which investigates the death of a Cambridge Universty professor's deaf daughter. The other two cases are more intriguingly personal, as Lynley is reunited with lifelong friend Helen Clyde. In 'Payment in Blood,' she is one of a cast of suspects when a playwright is slaughtered. In 'Missing Joseph,' she returns as a profiler, who assists Lynley in the case of a poisoned vicar. We also see the softer side of Havers as she deals with her increasingly senile mother. While fans of George's books may regret the abridgements necessary to bring each episode in at 90 minutes, mystery buffs will enjoy the contemporary spin on classic genre conventions, and Lynley and Havers' prickly relationship, which is at the heart of the series. --Donald Liebenson Customers who bought this item also bought Inspector Lynley - Set 2 Inspector Lynley - A Great Deliverance The Inspector Lynley Mysteries - Set 3 The Inspector Lynley Mysteries: Set 5 Inspector Lynley Mysteries - Set 4 Customer Reviews for: The Inspector Lynley Mysteries - Well-Schooled in Murder / Payment in Blood / For the Sake of Elena / Missing Joseph Rating - Code of Silence "We live by codes, Lynley thought. We call them our morals, our standards, our values, our ethics, as if they were part of our genetic make up. But they are only behaviours that we have learned from our society, and there are times to act in defiance of them, to fly in the face of their conventions because it is right to do so." - Inspector Lynley (Well Schooled in Murder) The setting of Elizabeth George's Inspector Lynley mysteries is England and this story is set at a private boys school ... Read More Rating - a delicate character study This series has great writing. However, a lot of the plot is what Hitchcock would call the "maguffin" -- the 'whatever' on which to hang the script. The real center of this series is the contrast of class. The two central characters have an unexpressed love for each other which subtly supercedes and cancels out any other relationships that they try to form. It is not a love of bump and grind, but rather a deep respect, a reaching out past class distinctions, and a primary need to see each other every day. ... Read More Rating - Inspector Lynley set 1 I thought that Inspector Lynley was truly a masterpiece when the series was shown on Masterpiece Theater of PBS. And I am again happily validated of that opinion in watching this series again. Truly great acting, great plots and intelligent viewing! This series is better than any of the detective shows currently on TV! Rating - Inspector Lynley Series - First Set I knew ahead of ordering this DVD that I would enjoy it immensely because I had already viewed the four mysteries (Well-Schooled in Murder, Payment in Blood, For the Sake of Elena, Missing Joseph) on our local PBS station. Also I have read many of the Elizabeth George novels on which this series is based. Of course, there are some changes from the story line and characters contained in the novels. However, I believe Nathaniel Parker and Sharon Small do an excellent portrayal of their characters. (Obviously, it doesn't ...
