★★☆☆☆
Much ado about nothing
I cannot believe this book is the work of Elizabeth George!
It is poorly written, with a trite plot and I had a hard time finishing it.
This is not the Elizabeth George I have enjoyed in the past. Most of the time I am a big fan and have read all of her books. I am especially a fan of Havers who usually adds a touch of spice to the story, and a fresh outlook as our hero Lynley can be a trifle stuffy at times. I enjoyed the fact that Havers was given some life of her own and couldn't wait to get this book and see what her latest adventures would be.
What a disappointment!
The story has already been told by other reviewers so I won't repeat it here. Take my advice ... try one of George's earlier books for an entertaining read, and don't waste your money on this one.
