Just One Evil Act by Elizabeth George
2.0
le sigh.
Fortunately her earlier books remain as excellent and can be reread again and again. It breaks my heart to turn away from many of these characters, but there are some train wrecks that are not worth reading.

Even since Helen died the stories just don't work. I mean, the writing is just as fantastic, but my connection to the characters is traumatized and spoiled. I could barely stand to read about Barbara, it was like watching a family member date the wrong guy, marry him, have kids, and then go through the awakening process. I can't go through the emotional roller coaster anymore.Fortunately her earlier books remain as excellent and can be reread again and again.
