Something to hide
5By Rb1560Another well researched book in a wonderful Detective seriesRepeat, repeat and repeat again
1By geogprofI’m not usually a reader of Elizabeth George and I certainly won’t be again. If there ever was a book written to meet a goal of a certain, large, number of words this is it. It’s like stone soup except the outcome of the numerous ingredients in this case is not tasty. I’ll give Ms. Georgia something; she kept me skimming through the pages to discover the denouement of the various threads she had woven for the characters to follow. More fool me, I should have stopped reading it.Too many words
1By Princeton WayPlodding, slow moving. So many disconnected storylines (that I hope get connected). I couldn’t stay awake to finish it. And I tried 'cause I really have loved her books.Ready for the next Lynley series book!!
5By kansaspamI have read all the Inspector Lynley books by Elizabeth George. This last book was the best of them all—and I have loved each book.Something to Hide
3By GVgGardenGirlVery difficult topic (female mutilation) plus murder. Not easy topics but very informative for the un-informedSomething to hide
3By Delta DAWN 54Not one of her best. All over the place???.☹️😦Great Writing- Boring Content
1By jimjim1013I’ve read all the Detective Lynley books. I found this book equally well written, but the storyline terribly uninteresting.Way too long
3By YBqueenToo much about heat! Too much about Havers. Too many plot threads! Needed to be about 300 pages shorter! A shame as the main plot thread was important! And hate to say it but getting tired of Tommy! The guy needs to man up!KUDOS TO ELIZABETH GEORGE
5By Film Fan FamilyInteresting characters and story. Kudos to Elizabeth George for shining a light on FGM. I had never heard or knew about this subject until reading this book. Although the subject matter is disturbing, the book is a good murder mystery. I thoroughly enjoyed the book, especially the ending. They should make a movie from this book.Not my favorite
3By carocrossVery long and meandering. Could be a couple hundred pages less and lose nothing. And I like long books if the writing is worthwhile. I’ve read most all in the series and like the characters generally. But not so much in this book. And I’d like Daidre to be gone. Can’t believe he’s wrapped in her.
