Title: A Traitor to Memory
Product review: I've reached the last few pages of this tome, and I'm not sure that I have the interest or energy to carry on. This one has exhausted me! I have always enjoyed reading and rereading Elizabeth George's novels, and I waited anxiously for "A Traitor to Memory" to be published. I have been both bored and disappointed by this novel. I wanted to know how she had advanced the lives of the characters that people her stories: Havers, Lynley, Helen, St. James, Deborah, and Winston. Each is intriguing in his or her own way. However, they and the unfolding of their lives were obscured by the narcissistic demands of the central character, violinist Gideon Davies, his Victorian father, his maniac grandfather, and the hollow women who took to the shadows in the madhouse of Gideon's childhood. I look forward to Ms. George's next book. In the meantime, I think I'll spend my Christmas holidays enjoying her earlier works again.
