Just One Evil Act by Elizabeth George
2.0

Painfully boring and disappointing read. This might very well be the death knell of the Lynley series, which I have loved for years. The story could have been told at half the length. There was no suspense in the story, as the killer was glaringly obvious. The plot was thin and plodding. Lots of untranslated Italian phrases, which come across as showing off on the part of George. I read Italian, but can imagine how frustrating the lack of translation would be to readers who do not. Havers was beyond irritating, moving from one irrational, hysterical outburst to another. Lynley might as well not have been included in the story, so little did he contribute to it. You owe your fans more than this, Ms. George.
