Just One Evil Act
by Elizabeth George
It feels like Elizabeth George, like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, has tired of her characters but instead of cliffing them, she drowns them in over-written, over-emoted stories set in locations where research expenses must make a nice tax write-off.
It's been about 20 years since I first discovered For the Sake of Elena. I was so gripped by the story and by Lynley and Havers that I immediately sought out earlier books in the series. Whenever a new book came out I sought to read it as soon as possible.
The last few books have pushed my dedication. Just One Evil Act is about as good as the last two or three, though with the added bonus of near constant contact embarrassment as Havers digs herself into a hole that she doesn't seem to completely realize exists. Between that, my constantly active mental red pen, and the fact that I skimmed the last 200 or so pages, I am not sure that I have it in me to read further in this series.
