A Banquet of Consequences is a crime novel by Elizabeth George. It is the author's 20th novel featuring Inspector Lynley and Detective Barbara Havers of Scotland Yard.[1]
Lynley and Havers are called to investigate the poisoning of Clare Abbott, a feminist writer, and thereby uncover a series of human connections, including links to the suicide of a troubled young man three years previously. Meanwhile, Havers, under pressure to redeem her professional reputation, struggles to reinvent herself after heading to Dorset to pursue a lead, while Lynley remains in London to pursue another avenue of investigation, whilst attempting to further his relationship with Daidre, a vet who works at London Zoo.[1][2]
