by Elizabeth George
Book #17, in the Inspector Lynley mysteryThis is a good size book over 600 pages of a tightly plotted mystery that brings MS George’s unpredictable characters in the middle of a case involving pedophilia, alcoholism, homosexuality, transgender reassignment, surrogacy and above all….everything comes ...
One of the weakest in the series, I think. Also, not nearly enough Havers, and too much Simon and Deborah (he's boring, and I can't stand her). Just kind of 'eh' "case," too. She should never have killed Helen; the series has never recovered.
This is the first book from Elizabeth George that I felt wasn't up the the standard she has set with all her other books. I mean, if you really want to read a great book of hers read "Careless in Red". She is such a superb writer, I don't know why this one didn't work except that the plot seemed to ...
Io.. Ecco.. No, Elizabeth, non si fa così!!Portare a termine la lettura di questo libro è stato un parto, una fatica immane, un'impresa titanica.Mi fa sentire male non apprezzare un libro della George.. L'ho sempre considerata una delle migliori scrittrici di thriller di questo secolo, e probabilmen...
Elizabeth George's novels are way too chunky but I always believe they are worth hanging onto the end. And her latest one is a door stopper. And while I am hardly one to call her writing genteel, it is always familial with dark overtones and "Believing The Lie" is unusual for her, particularly nasty...
I was a bit disappointed by this book. I've read all of Elizabeth George's book and have loved all of them - until Helen dies. From this point on the books just weren't the same anymore. The mysteries seem very constructed and the characters sometimes act in very strange ways."Believing the lie" sta...
2.5Review coming (as soon as I can be objectively annoyed, instead of just plain mad)._____________**HIDDEN SPOILERS BELOW**I probably haven't shaken off enough of my ire enough yet to write a thoughtful, coherent review, but I have recovered sufficiently to say I do admire the way George created a ...
Surprisingly there aren't that many books that keep me really awake. I don't mean in the “reading two or three more chapters than I probably should have considering I need to get up early the next day”-sense, I mean the “Yes it is already half past eleven and I have over a hundred pages left but I j...
We have had to wait a long time for the new Inspector Lynley mystery and the wait was well worth it!! Again, George has managed to suck me in. Although, I would have liked to have seen more of Havers and Lynley crime solving together and less of St. James, I still enjoyed the ride. The book's length...
A fine, fine entry in the series. Meet the Fairclough family, thoroughly messed up with secrets everywhere. Simon and Deborah St. James return in this one, but alas, not nearly enough of Barbara Havers. I still want to see Isabelle Ardery break her neck on a flight of stairs. Lots of details about t...
