A fascinating read. - Woman
Presses all the buttons to make us hoover her stuff up - Daily TelegraphShe’s a designer of fastidious mosaics that never fail to intrigue. - GuardianA confession: I’m addicted to Elizabeth George; her crime novels combine Victorian craftsmanship, psychological observation and ingenious plotting. George’s celebrated attention to detail keeps the reader totally immersed. Bliss. - Kate Saunders, SagaAn intelligent book, clipped and precise, every word chosen with care … a cool, clever book that needs concentration and a sharp brain to unravel … Along the way to solving the crime we meet some finely drawn characters who emerge as real people with faults and frailties. Ms George is the connoisseur’s crime writer. Like fine wine, her words need to be savoured … Lynley is a policeman with a gentle touch and it is good to have him back on such brilliant form. - Sunday ExpressThe author writes brilliantly and has an incredible ability to set a scene and create characters you want to know more about. - SunHer books are painstakingly and satisfyingly accurate in their detail of life in Britain - Good Book GuideAbout The Author
