- Fantastic
Elizabeth George has not lost her touch with her latest novel "Careless in Red". I found the book as extremely compelling, as all of her books have been. She continues to shine as an outstanding author, drawing out intensly interesting stories complemented with the best drawn charecters I have ever read. Bravo! Please continue to write additinal books. It is a long wait for avid readers of the Lynley mysteries.

- Thank goddess for Havers
I love Lynley. I love Havers, and all the New Scotland Yard personnel they entail. Never thought I cared about Helen, until she was killed. ("Without any witness" and "What came before he shot her" are mandatory reading. These are tour de force novels, regardless of the series. The former is the only mystery that has ever made me cry.) "Careless in red" was the hoped-for continuation of the Lynley-Havers series.

"Careless in red" is a very good read, but I hope it is merely a transition to new work. The story is interesting and certainly in the George tradition. Lynley is sort-of back, a little too interested in the new attractive woman to be believed. Havers is her wonderful self. The character of the new police chief in the small town Lynley stumbles upon is also terrific. (I could envision a new series featuring her and Havers.)

Whatever direction Ms. George decides to take with Lynley and Havers, I'm there -- as long as they don't realize they are "meant for each other." The characters are the ultimate pairing, and their new relationship provides many new directions. I can't wait to see what happens next.

- A Tedious Read
This is the first Elizabeth George book I have read and it will be my last. It was so hard to get through and could have easily been 150 pages shorter in length. To much useless information. Do I really care if the Detective is computer dating? I think I have wasted my time.

Rating:

- Deplorable effort
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.

Rating:

- Audio Book Problem
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.
