5.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant complex book, 14 Dec 1999
By A Customer
Elizabeth George's best novel - takes a number of very different aspects of women's experiences and weaves them into both a gripping detective story and a multi-layered analysis of women's different roles. I have read all her books and many many more of this genre. This is outstanding and memorable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Far superior to anything else I've read by Ms George, 13 Aug 2000
By A Customer
This was the first Elizabeth George book I read and I loved it. Well written, pacy, plenty of suspects and interesting examinations of why people behave to each other as they do. Not much of that fanciful rubbish about the English aristocracy that mars the other books in the series I've since read either - it took me a while to realise that Lynley is meant to be an Earl from this one (an Earl? in the police force? yeah, right...). Buy this one but only borrow the others....

5.0 out of 5 stars Kept me guessing right up until the end, 17 Sep 2000
By A Customer
This is the first Elizabeth George book I've read and I was very impressed. The characters were all vivid and the plot was interesting and kept me guessing all the way through.
