Thomas Lynley mired deeply in his grief comes across the body of a young man at the bottom of a cliff during his hike along the South West Coastal Trail Soon enough he gets involved in the investigation into the boy s death which of course has been determined to be a murderEnter Ben and Kerra and Daidre and Santo and Dellen and Aldara and Jago and Selevan and Madlyn and Max and Lew and Cadan and Bea and Ray and Pete and Alan and Will and Tammy and yes Sergeant Havers tooPhewThe biggest problem I found with this book is as you may have guessed there are too many characters Not all of them are necessary to the plot and many of them are simply there to help Tommy find his way back to his life To me Elizabeth George was trying to do too many things at onceThe story was good enough a young man killed but not for the reason you think with suspects aplenty Who did it Was it the scorned girlfriend Her dad The boy s dad His sister The young man who had a thing for the boy s girlfriend They all had a reason to kill him of courseThe local Inspector is a hard woman why are all female cops borderline masculine huh with personal issues that she allows to cloud her judgment She s in charge and wants things done her way or no way at all She forces Lynley to become involved in the investigation even though he tries to explain he s not a cop not any at least He s given it up She of course wants none of it because she plans to use him to get close to the woman she considers the prime suspectIn the end the killer is revealed but there is no real justice Tommy is still trying to find a reason to go on but there are hopeful signs of life He promises Havers he ll make his way back to London after he s finished his journey up the Cornish coastWhen I saw this book at the store I was so excited I had been dying to see what happened to Tommy after the deaths of his wife and son And while it was great to see Tommy again and heartwrenching to discover what he s been going through the book failed to reach my expectationsHowever to be fair to Ms George those expectations were exceedingly high and probably unattainable anywayA good book not a great one but I still can t wait for the next installment of this terrific series

Okay I think we ve got the train back on track We have Lynley we have Havers Whew This should go without saying but after the dreck that was What Came Before He Shot Her you cannot take these things for grantedOther than the presence of Lynley and Havers though I m not that crazy about this installment I didn t like any of the other secondary characters and actively disliked most of them The few that I did like eventually ended up annoying me too And after the first third of the book even the characters names bugged me Dellen Jago Santo do you suppose Elizabeth George ran some sort of contest Name the Character and ended up with this baffling assortment but was forced by contract to use themI read the whole thing but it took me three weeks which is usual for E George I usually can t put her novels down you know And to be very honest I think my antipathy is entirely personal I m still aggrieved at George for killing off Helen pointlessly I might add and then forcing me her loyal reader to wade through the joyless mulch of What Came Before Elizabeth George OWES me and this one didn t cover itMy theory is that George wrote herself into a corner what drama comes from a happily married protagonist with a baby on the way None that s what So how to inject maximum drama with minimum effort Murder of course With the added pathos of a pregnant beloved victim Man it still annoys me Not so much that Helen is dead but that I think it was a cheap trick authorial ly speaking

summary Careless in Red ´ eBook, ePUB or Kindle PDF download ✓ eBook, ePUB or Kindle PDF ¿ Elizabeth George E base of a cliff Lynley discovers the body of a young man who appears to have fallen to his death The closest town better known for its tourists and its surfing than its intrigue seems an unlikely place for murder However it soon becomes apparent that a clever killer is indeed at work and this time Lynley is not a detective but a w. Isn t Elizabeth George terrific I love her books and just wish she s crank them out regularly and uickly It isn t as if the woman isn t productive either It s just that fans want always Of course then they wouldn t be the same books would they Here we have DS Lynley mourning the loss of his wife Lynley takes mourning very very seriously He s been wandering the coast of Cornwall for weeks living rough and not especially well Just walking Naturally he finds a body It seems a young climber has fallen from a cliff Accident Or something else Well this is Elizabeth George so you can guess The local police range from the cold hard Bea Hannaford to her bumbling officers There are too few investigators with too little experience and Hannaford s unwillingness to listen to what anyone has to say does not help matters There are many plot lines but George keeps them from tangling up so a reader is intrigued rather than lost such is her skill with plot And this is a great mystery Of course she sends a reader off on false leads convincing false leads And even though you know that at least some of them must be false they are part of such a rich story that you almost forget that basic of mystery fiction This is a feast of friendship relationship family small town and emotional intrigues As for character this might be her best yet George really gets a reader inside the heads of her characters in a way few can such is her art Perhaps the best example of this is early on while Lynley is walking the coast and as he slowly very slowly emerges into the world Here George manages to convey that he is so lost in grief as to be barely there inside his head It s an amazingly elouent bit of writing Someone just liked this review leading me to reread it This reminded me of how much I liked the book Now I must re read the book
