It does not fall short, excellent, 9 January 2005
10/10
Author: jenfitz625 from United States

"Deception On His Mind" is perhaps the best Lynley episode yet, along with "A Suitable Vengeance". Simply put, this series is fabulous. The subject matters are bold and the casting is remarkable, every episode. I have fallen in love with Lynley and Havers on-screen. Actors Parker and Small (and in this episode, TJ Ramini, Emily Joyce, Demelza Randall, and Anjali Jay) are stand-outs. In regards to the other commenter's remarks: Of course the novels are going to offer more exposition and plot detail. The novels are 500-700 pages long, and the show is 90 minutes. The creators extract and dramatize the paramount key points from George's work, and the impeccable production quality certainly overrides any concern about small details that George fans might feel are missing. The element of suspense is sharply maintained. This is a fantastic BBC production.
