Praise for Elizabeth George and her Novels "Elizabeth George is a
superstar of the crime-fiction world, British Inspector Division.
Deservedly so: Her tails always provide nuanced character studies
and insights into social issues along with their intricate
mysteries."

force to be reckoned with."
--Suspense Magazine "It's tough to resist George's storytelling,
once hooked."
--USA Today "Riveting tale of love, passion, and betrayal...series
fans will enjoy following Lynley and Havers on their first
investigation outside the U.K., while newcomers will be just as
enthralled."
--Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Just One Evil Act "Just One
Evil Act [is] among the most demanding and satisfying of the many
detective novels by Elizabeth George."
--The Wall Street Journal "A serious, suspenseful,
thought-provoking and heart-rending novel."
--Richmond Times Dispatch on Just One Evil Act "George is a master
of the wily plot and the timely tossed out red herring... George's
fans will be glad to see Havers back in action, even though, as
ever, she's quick to land in trouble. And as for Lynley--well, he's
as cool as ever, in more than one sense of the word."
--Kirkus Reviews on Just One Evil Act "This is a must for fans of
this series. Twists and turns are vintage George and do not
disappoint."
--Library Journal on Just One Evil Act "A multiplicity of subplots
and a richness of physical detail...The terrain and the weather are
objective correlatives to the characters' stormy patches.
Meanwhile, the story strands are untied and retied in satisfying
and often moving ways."
--The Wall Street Journal on Believing the Lie "Devilishly
complicated."
--Entertainment Weekly on Believing the Lie "A dense, twisty plot
with characters who reveal the sad spectrum of human
dereliction."
--People on Believing the Lie "George's...ability to continually
enhance the portraits of Lynley, Havers, and other recurring
characters while generating fully fleshed new ones for each novel
is nothing less than superlative, and her atmospheric prose,
complete with lovely and detailed descriptions of her setting,
combines to add literary gravitas to her work....A worthy addition
to her portfolio and one that simultaneously disturbs and
satisfies."
--Richmond Times-Dispatch "This is one of her best."
--Daily American on Believing the Lie "George's many fans...will be
thrilled with this new episode in the lives of her lovable cast of
characters."

strengths--character development, plot twists and shocking
tragedy--continue to shine."

and, to be blunt, fantastic writing...A complete A+ for the mystery
realm."

great character portraits in contemporary crime fiction."
