I won't read any more Elizabeth George novels because of this one. I was so angry at what she did to the characters that I swore off her altogether. A big part of what I enjoy about murder mystery series is that we get to know the primary characters over time, and see them develop. So to mess around Leggi tutto
SPOILER ALERT: This review reveals an irritating, but important, plot detail. Sweet Lord mother of God. Did nobody tell this woman that reading a book about a crazed serial killer is tough enough going? But to kill off Lynley's fricking WIFE in the middle of the book! For no apparent reason. Give me Leggi tutto
I remember reading this book when it first came out. I had read all its predecessors, but this one put me off Elizabeth George forever more. I also remember there was a great cry and backlash against the author for one particular event in this book, which, I believe, resulted in the subsequent "What Leggi tutto
