Prima di ucciderla

Let me start by saying that I am a loyal fan of Elizabeth George. I started reading her mysteries in high school, and even had the fantastic opportunity of interviewing her for a high school research paper. I have been to her readings a half-dozen times in a number of different cities. I will read a Leggi tutto

Given the negative reaction to this novel from many of Elizabeth George’s long-time fans, I fully expected not to enjoy this.

The last book ends with a shocking murder of a regular character. I knew she was going to backtrack and tell how that came to happen, but I th Leggi tutto

Chilling and fascinating departure for George. She tells a pitifully sad story from the viewpoint of the 12 year old boy who was Helen Lynley's killer. The story is a mystery in its own right as well because of how the theme of revenge plays out. DIehard fans of Havers and Lynley hated this book, bu Leggi tutto
