by Elizabeth George
Seriously you guys. I hard shrugged this book throughout. Why George decided to throw out a book that shows events that took place before the first book in the series baffles me. Also there's just a look at Havers and that's it. I cannot read a whole book following Lynley and St. James again. My hea...
I do like Elizabeth George's style, and her way with a mystery, but this novel epitomizes everything in her Lynley series I find the most irritating.

I think I'm starting to understand why Thomas Lynley is so messed up... I can't hope to disguise the fact that I'm a huge fan of Elizabeth George's, not only of her novels, but her of excellent memoir/instructional book Write Away. I've learned more from reading her books than from half a dozen othe...
