Title: Bored me long before the end was in sight
Product review: This book has convinced me that I don't like Elizabeth George. Long before the end could be seen, I was thoroughly sick of the "victim", the detectives, the bystanders and even the English countryside. There is far too much here of Lynley's and Havers' whining about their personal problems; far too much irrelevent detail about the S&M underworld; far too much pseudo-Brit slang. It doesn't ring true to me- maybe because I read this directly after the far superior "River of Darkness" and "The Masters of the House" (again). So many scenes had absolutely nothing to do with the plot and so many threads were left hanging after the denouement. This will definitely be the last of this series for me.
