Title: Great author; Bad mystery
Product review: I love Elizabeth George and look forward to every new installment in this series. Unfortunately, this book disappointed me. I don't mind that the usual suspects, Havers, Lynley, Simon and Deborah, are sidelined. I understand that the author might be becoming bored with their stories, and I feel that we readers could use a break from them. Lynley, in particular, is becoming too sanctimonious and hard to take in large doses. For me, the primary problem is the mystery. It was very unlikely in the first place and you can drive a Mack truck through the holes in the plot. You could be forgiven for finishing the book and still not really understanding whodunit and why.
