Review

'George weaves her usual magic, embroiling her Scotland Yard characters in tangles both personal and professional' -- Time Out 'Complex, convincing and completely absorbing.' -- Woman's Day (Australia) 'An outstanding and explosive addition to a popular series.' -- Publishers Weekly 'Enough twists and shocks ... to startle even the most jaded reader' -- Wall Street Journal 'George explores her characters' dreams and fears with a penetrating grace that makes reading her books a joy' -- Washington Post Book World 'This is a riveting instalment in a superb series' -- Booklist 'George is a master' -- Chicago Tribune 'Dickensian in scope, her scenes pinpoint sharp ... and the dynamicx of the characters sensitive and disturbing.' -- Oxford Times

A disappointing read 16 Aug 2005
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
Having read all of Elizabeth George's books more than once finding them intriguing, full of suspense and enjoying especially the setting and development of the characters I found this one a great disappointment. Not only did the characters seem cardboard like but the story seemed to gallop along with little or no time for reflection against a backdrop of a depressingly unoriginal theme. It seemed to me to be driven more by the TV series, where we already knew part of the ending, than by the author's continued involvement with the characters she had created. Sorry but I shan't be buying the next one.

Format:Hardcover
I have enjoyed most of Elizabeth George's Lynley novels, although felt at times that there was too much emphasis on the traumatic romances and personal misery that the main protagonists all seem to go through. Especially Barbara - although there does appear to be some hope at last for her. But the plots are almost always great.
This is true again of this latest book, the first serial killer that Lynley and co. have to deal with, picking on mixed race young teenagers with histories of delinquency. The in-fighting and politics of the police force are extremely believable (unfortunately), as is the intimate involvement of the press. The involvement of an offender profiler (and subsequent plotline) I felt was a bit of a nod to literary fashion (and Val McDiarmid does it much better). However the policework was well written,and once again Barbara saves the day.
But without giving anything away I have to say that I came away from this book feeling completely emotionally drained, and if you have come at least to empathise with (if not to like) these characters during the series you may find it hard not to cry. There is one defining memory for me from this book, which actually overwhelms the main plot. How could she (George) do it, is my response? Does she never want anyone to be happy? Or is this to be the last of her Lynley novels?
Read it and weep, literally.

Dreadful 20 Nov 2006
Format:Paperback
The older the book, the better George is. This one is well-nigh unreadable. Why she thinks Havers' completely counterfeit eight-year-old neighbor is an interesting character defies comprehension. Her early books were fast-paced and believable (well, Lady Helen and Deborah never rose beyond writerly creations). The latest are turgid and dreary.
