review 1: At over 700 pages, this novel is half again too long. I have loved George's Lynley series, but this book has a labyrinthine plot that is unnecessarily complex. I enjoy George's complex plots, but this one felt contrived. The novel had too little of Lynley and too much of a Haver...

review 1: Author George is an amazing writer, but her books are even. Some are so formulaic as to being superficial, others become rich with description. This is one of the latter. Protagonist Lynley actually has a personality in this one. There is a new boss at Scotland Yard, Isabelle,...

review 1: Elizabeth George's new book took me awhile to get into it but I am very happy that I stuck through the first few chapters. The Edge of Nowhere's protagonist is Becca King, a nearly fifteen year old with a new name, new identity and new locale. Becca is a likable character to spen...

review 1: Grrr... I was frustrated in the previous book, Believing the Lie, because of Deborah's goofy behaviour, but I thought, "Who am I to guess the way a woman would behave when wholly consumed by her inability to have a successful pregnancy?" But THIS book just got crazy with Barbara'...

review 1: The good news is, Inspector Linley in the end broke up with Superintendent Arvery: I really couldn't stand her!The plot is weird, as there isn't a real murder in the book, only a series of skeletons drawn out from several closets. I still enjoyed reading it, though I was expectin...

review 1: Spoilers ahead!! I really liked this book, until the end. I probably would have given it 4 stars, except for the end. So, everything was tying itself up, like a regular novel without a sequence, but suddenly, JEFF FINDS HER???? in the epilogue...? It just didn't fit, everything w...

review 1: I liked this book it focused on the 5 main type of people there are in an average school and like every day life there was drama but not very many plot twists which are my favourite parts so that was kinda a bummer, the end of the book wasn't what I expected yes it wants to leave...

review 1: An unusual Inspector Lynley story, this one. Without wanting to give too much away, there is no actual murder in the book. In fact the crimes which are encountered are incidental to the original investigation. Roughly, Lynley is asked to go to North England to investigate a deat...

review 1: There were some very clever and subtle stories in here. Sometimes I had to think about how they related to lust and greed, but I don't mean that as a criticism: the authors had come up with some unusual and thought- provoking tales which made me think a bit. In many, the situat...
