A review by mindygough
A Banquet of Consequences by Elizabeth George
3.0
As I've mentioned before, I like a weighty tome, so the nearly 600 pages of this book pleased me, and though it took me a long time to feel engaged, eventually I found the story had hooked me and I stayed up way too late reading . . .
Some quibbles:
- Why did Havers move in to the victim's home and drive her car? Weird, unprofessional - maybe a British thing?
- I felt Lily should have been involved more in the latter chapters than she was.
- The timelines were annoying, and as others have mentioned, don't seem to line up.
I didn't realize this was part of a series until l was midway - that explained some of the little details that were dropped in without any preamble or follow up.
And one serious problem that means I won't read this author again - she refers to Nkata as "the black" several times. Nope. Not ok.
