Title: Another brilliant exercise but ...
Product review: I recently finished Elizabeth George's latest Lynley (now Lynley-Havers) book and found it riveting. But I fail to understand (and don't appreciate) the author's decision to make Havers so terribly unattractive, fat, sloppy and intent on intensifying her obsessions with smoking and eating fat.George has clearly decided to make HER female character different from all the others and I imagine she thinks it is amusing, or gets a charge out of being deliberately politically incorrect. Fine. But the emphasis is such that at least this reader is beginning to find some of her discriptions downright distasteful. I hope the author will cool it in the future and concentrate on what she does so well, weaving one or more tales into a fascinating plot and peopling them with intriguing, interesting and at times unfathomable characters.
