 Deplorable effort July 24, 2008
Everything tied up in a neat little package at the end which took forever to arrive! Despicable characters, every last one of them. Only a shoulder injury which immobalized me for a time and the fact that I'd spent my hard-earned money on this Fiction 101 effort compelled me to keep reading until the unsatisfying ending. Why were some of these characters there? Did they propel the story? No! It will be a very bleak fiction market indeed before I buy another of this author's attempts.
 Audio Book Problem July 22, 2008
I have just started the book on tape and was very disappointed that Donata Peters is not the reader. I'm listening to the Unabridged version and I believe his name is John Lee or something. It's just not the same, somehow it changes the book. George almost lost me when she killed off Helen. It took me a year to read/listen to "WHAT CAME BEFORE HE SHOT HER" and draw myself back into the fold. This will be a stumbling block for me. Please bring Donada Peters back. It's not the same story without her.
summer reader July 20, 2008
I've read all of George's books. This one is the worst. It drags on and on to the point that it has become rather boring, and I'm only on Page 207.
Good to see you back, Tommy! July 18, 2008

After the misfire that was George's last novel - which I frankly couldn't even finish - it was a pleasure to sit down to "Careless in Red" and discover that one of my favorite book series has returned to form. While the Lynley and Havers characters have always been a bit contrived, it's easy to forget that in the sheer delight that comes from reading truly elegant writing wrapped around a complex but intriguing plot.
Of course, British policing is undergoing some radical changes thanks to its absurdly PC attitude towards criminals, and the reality of that isn't reflected in the procedures used by George's law enforcement characters. But again, it's easy enough to put what you read in the news aside in the service of a fine novel. And that's what Elizabeth George has produced here.
Too long and tedious July 18, 2008

600 pages! Elizabeth George is not Tolstoy. She desperately needs an editor with a CTL-x button.
