Don't let the over 900 pages scare you away-this is the best Elizabeth George in a while. For many of those over 900 pages you're not sure how all the different story lines are going to come together-but in her uniquely amazing fashion, Ms. George pulls it off.
The introduction of a new Police character (Isabelle) is handled with great style,l very complex and tragic, really-and the character of Thomas Lynley takes on more depth, I think. I also enjoyed the beginning of a 'transformation' of Barbara Havers. Of all of the characters in the Inspector Lynley series, she is my favorite.
If you did not like the last two or three of E. George's books-please give this one a go-you will not be disappointed. Hope she keeps it going for a long time!!
