A review by kaiteeyaeko
A Banquet of Consequences by Elizabeth George
3.0
I enjoyed this book. I can't say I was surprised by the mystery/crime -- but I think that comes down to the fact that I watch too many procedural crime dramas.
I found that George crafts her characters with great care, and that was what drew me through. She also knows what she's doing when it come to dropping just enough breadcrumbs -- I felt the suspense quite thoroughly. I've been having trouble sleeping lately, and this book kept pulling me forward. I kept having the "just a little further, I have to know!" Moments.
This is the first Inspector Lynley book I've read. I didn't need the history of the characters to enjoy the book, but I am looking forward to going back to the beginning and meeting these characters at an earlier point in their arcs.
