highly recommended

Detective Inspector Lynley (Nathaniel Parker) and Detective Sergeant Havers (Sharon Small), Elizabeth George s crime-cracking duo from opposite sides of the track, are back in four intriguing new mysteries. The fifth series begins with Lynley suspended from duty for alleged police brutality, and Havers with a new boss. Can they still function as a team, now that they re apart?

We enjoyed all of the Lynley series tremendously. I'm only sorry that the series will end soon. If are a fan of the British mystery series this is a must see.

Many Happy Returns....

Inspector Lynley and his stalwart sidekick Detective Sergeant Havers return for a fifth season of solving intense and complex mysteries. The original awkward partnership of the aristocratic Lynley and the working class Havers has been transformed by time and shared experience into a nuanced relationship as fascianting as the crimes they investigate.

In "Natural Causes", Lynley is on suspension, and Havers has been paired with an unctious and very pregnant female DCI. Havers and her new partner will investigate the apparent suicide of a young environmental activist. When the case proves to be a complicated murder, a frustrated Lynley pitches in and goes way out on a limb to help solve the case. At episode's end, he will face a reinstatement board.

In "One Guilty Deed", the two detectives are assigned a murder case in a down-at-heel seaside resort once frequented by Havers as a child. Lynley and Havers must work out housekeeping arrangements in a crowded trailer while wrestling clues out of uncooperative locals. The disappearance of a young boy years prior turns out to be the key to the present crime. Havers' success at finding the connection leaves her dangerously vulnerable to the killer.

In "Chinese Walls", Lynley and Havers plunge into the internet porn industry to solve the murder of a young barrister, while Lynley resurrects his relationship with his estranged wife Helen, played in this set by a new actress.

In "Blink of an Eye", Lynley and Havers work the murder of a burnt-out war photographer turned papparatzi, whose past may have caught up with him. The suspects include a magazine publisher, a limo driver, an ex-para, and the photographer's Bosnian ward, all of whom had motive and opportunity. Lynley pulls in Helen to profile the killer and assist in the questioning, with tragic results at the conclusion of the episode.

"Inspector Lynley Set Five" offers everything we have come to expect in this series: tough, complex crimes with few clues and messy solutions; location shooting that adds depth to the stories; and crackling good give-and-take between Lynley and Havers as they work the cases. This set is very highly recommended to fans of the series as excellent entertainment.

Nice to have a new chapter

Although it was nice to have a new chapter in the Inspector Lyley series, I have to say that I was just a little disappointed that this season and the final one were somewhat Americanized - the characters a bit more glamorous, the settings less gritty. Having said that, I will also admit that series five and six were nonetheless thoroughly enjoyable. It was good to see Havers beginning to realize that she's a formidable detective in her own right. Too bad Lynley is too much of a prat to see it!
