What Came Before He Shot Her by Elizabeth George

4.0

Be warned. If you're looking fir a Thomas Lynley book, this novel does not star George's well known detective character. It focuses instead on a highly dysfunctional family of west Indians living in present day London. By the last page -- long before the last page -- you'll understand the sociopathology that supplies the motive for the shooting. As the preceding sentence implies, the book isn't a pleasant read. It's a sad story and it's not pure entertainment. If you're still reading this review you might want to read the book.
