Why read it?
1 author picked In the Presence of the Enemy as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Threat of exposure of a scandalous affair takes Lynley and his sidekick Havers from London into the countryside, where they reveal how a hidden past and the mistaken identity of a father by his son, led to murder.

From Vee's list on families disguised as mysteries.
