“I love the start to this series. We get to see Zinnia learn about who she is and the responsibility her and the other queens have to save the world. She also has a love interest that is said to be forbidden. She just jumps right into her role as a witch.” by Amazon Customer

A Suitable Vengeance
by Elizabeth George
Rating: 4.5 #ad
Award-winning author Elizabeth George gives us an early glimpse into the lives of Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley, forensic scientist Simon Allcourt-St. James, and Lady Helen Clyde in a superlative mystery that is also a fascinating inquiry into the crimes of the heart. Lynley, the eighth earl of Asherton, has brought to Howenstow, his family home, the young woman he has asked to be his bride. But the savage murder of a local journalist is the catalyst for a lethal series of events that shatters the calm of a picturesque Cornwall village and embroils Lynley and St. James in a case far outside their jurisdiction—and a little too close to home.
