Description:
Lynley and Havers are about to face their ultimate tests. Nathaniel Parker (Far from the Madding Crowd) and Sharon Small (About A Boy) return as the New Scotland Yard team of Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley and Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers in four riveting murder mysteries that share some striking--and disturbing--parallels to their own lives. Having weathered the early storms of their partnership, the high-brow Inspector and the emphatically working-class Sergeant face new challenges--including questions about Havers' future and Lynley's loyalty. While solving murders remains the partners' focus, Lynley finds it hard to find the proper balance between work and marriage to his wife, Helen, while Havers struggles to bounce back from her demotion and to find her proper path in life. While Lynley and Havers unravel the heinous and suspenseful mysteries based on Elizabeth George's best-selling whodunits, they are also grappling with a mounting series of challenges and twists in their personal lives in a season that culminates with a true cliffhanger.
In Pursuit of the Proper Sinner The daughter of a retired detective and her companion are murdered in the bucolic countryside of northern England, leading Lynley and Havers to countless suspects--and more victims.
A Traitor to Memory When Eugenie Martin falls victim to foul play, her complicated and tragic past provides Lynley and Havers with an obvious suspect--and a case that doesn't quite add up.
A Cry for Justice Morag McNicholl appeared to live a life of quiet respectability, but her death reveals a darker existence. As Lynley focuses on her mysterious past and the death toll mounts, Havers follows her hunches by going undercover.
If Wishes Were Horses There's no shortage of suspects in the murder of noted criminal profiler Dermot Finnegan. But when the case hits too close to home, Lynley takes extraordinary measures to bring the murderer to justice.

The Inspector Lynley Mysteries: Set 3 begins where set 2 left off, with Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers (Sharon Small) enduring a demotion following her controversial (though logical) handling of the climactic crisis at the end of 'Deception on His Mind.' But Havers is soon brought back into action as a sleuth in the first story here, 'In Pursuit of the Proper Sinner,' when her mentor, Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley (Nathaniel Parker), requests her participation in solving a double murder. One of the victims is the daughter of a retired Superintendent in Vice, who believes the killer is probably someone he once put away in jail. But the aristocratic Lynley and working-class Havers, an unusual team created in a series of novels by Elizabeth George, find the truth is more complicated than that as their investigation leads into a seamy world.
Long past their class differences and early conflicts--most of which were over differing perceptions and levels of experience with police business--Havers and Lynley increasingly cling to their relationship as events in their individual lives get more complex. This is especially true of Lynley, whose marriage suffers as he struggles to find a balance between work and home. Indeed, work only gets more complicated in 'A Traitor to Memory,' which concerns the murder of a woman who (a) disappeared from her family years before following the death of her daughter and (b) appears to have been on her way to see a man who claims never to have known her. 'A Cry for Justice' sees Havers regaining esteem and ground in the homicide division after she determines that a woman thought to have committed suicide might have, in fact, been murdered. Finally, loyalties are tested in 'If Wishes Were Horses,' when a forensic psychologist--the former mentor of Lynley's wife--is killed by a car bomb. Havers and Lynley's investigation finds evidence that the latter's pregnant spouse might have been involved with the dead man at one time. As the chips fall, tragedy strikes Lynley's already unhappy marriage, followed by another terrible crisis that befalls the other important woman in his life, Havers. --Tom Keogh

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great Mystery Series
You don't know a good mystery until you have seen the Inspector Lynley Series. My mother is a mystery book fanatic and got me hooked on these movies a few years ago - I can't seem to get enough now. This series is based off of the James mystery novels. They keep your mind constantly guessing "who dunnit"?
Rating: - Perection as usual
The Inspector Lynley mysteries are one of those series that get better each time. I especially enjoyed the fact that it is a bit more intelligent than the run of the mill shoot em up blood and guts type that seem to be prevalent these days. Anyone who liked Inspector Morse, Lewis or a Touch of Frost would also enjoy this.
Rating: - Inspector Lynley #3
The Series actually gets better with each set. The mysteries are engrossing, and the performances of the actors are always excellent. We were so disappointed to be stopped at #5, at least for now! All 5 series well worth watching.
Rating: - Inspector Lynley and His quiet speaking partner.
I have just received this one and it is just as good as the other 2 sets. His lady partner always gives him a different way at looking at the crime. Really do enjoy them
What I like most about British Mysteries, they don't have much violence and the violent language as the American shows have. The are really different and hope the British mysteries stay that way.
Rating:  - Great series but annoying lines on top of screen
I love the Inspector Lynley Series but couldn't watch this series because of moving, annoying lines on the top of the screen on all four installments. I've obtained this series from two different sources now and both have these lines.
