Story
Into Keldale's pastoral web of old houses and older secrets comes Scotland Yard Inspector Thomas Lynley, the eighth earl of Asherton. Along with the redoubtable Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers, Lynley has been sent to solve a savage murder that has stunned the peaceful countryside. For fat, unlovely Roberta Teys has been found in her best dress, an ax in her lap, seated in the old stone barn beside her father's headless corpse. Her first and last words were "I did it. And I'm not sorry".

A Nigerian-born detective sergeant working for the Metropolitan Police is found unconscious in her own flat and ends up in hospital, where she dies of her injury. The post-mortem reveals that the subdural hematoma is the result of a blow to her head.

Review of Something to Hide
I was eagerly awaiting the next book in the remarkable Lynley series, but was extremely disappointed with it. Although I stuck with it to the end, the story was slow moving and the whole needed a really, really good edit. A plethora of side issues encompassing too much detail detracted from the story. In some respects it was a brave attempt at highlighting an issue which often gets swept under the carpet of political correctness. But I’m not sure that the issue was dealt with properly. The actual production was uneven - some technical difficulties- and it may have been better to have had two narrators - one to do the Nigerian voices - which were excellently performed- and another to perform the plummy male voices of Lynley, Simon etc. which were poorly performed.

avoid - missing audio!! especially in last chapter
i was ok with this book until the last chapter, it had too many missing bits!!!
It was slow throughout and wrapped up quickly, but to have bits missing in that last chapter where it was wrapped up quickly was beyond disappointing. Give this a miss until the audio has been corrected
I have reported this to Audible and hope others have too.

Average entertainment
I was looking forward to this book but hung out till I couldn’t listen to any more.
I’m not sure what’s happened to writers but this book is very average.

Misleading
Bought as a Lynley mystery but I got about three chapters in and I think he’d appeared once. Maybe everything comes together eventually but it’s not gripping enough at the beginning for me to persevere till it does. Shame. I was looking forward to this one.

Harrowing but enjoyable
Harrowing story. Drawing out ethical issues. Narration not up to usual standard. Voices and accents poor

Thought-provoking and clever
I loved this book. I thought the narration was simply excellent. I was thoroughly immersed in the world of the novel, and it dealt with important issues in a sensitive manner.

Overlong and overwrought
Awful narrator, wrong emphasis on so many words. She gets to the end of the line, stresses the final word, then reads the rest of the sentence as though it is a new one. 'Drawrer' for drawer, 'war' for wall. Her Nigerian accent was convincing (to me) but Teo's French adoptive parents spoke in the same accent.
The story was laboured, lots of tedious, unnecessary detail. Could have been cut in half. Subject matter worthy, clumsy structure. I thought I had bought the wrong book when Lynley and Havers were brought in so late in the book. Characters were stereotypes and one-dimensional. Editor needs a talking to.

Strange accents
As usual Elizabeth George writes a cracking story and I enjoyed her usual twists and characters. But the narration with the faux accents was appalling
