From Publishers Weekly

George's novels about Scotland Yard's Thomas Lynley invariably have a long wind up before the action begins, so a narrator with the right tempo is absolutely necessary. Unfortunately, Charles Keating lets the first few disks develop as quietly as the Cornwall countryside in which it is set. Keating reads the novel instead of performing it as he did with the previous Lynley mystery, What Came Before He Shot Her. While he reads carefully and clearly, he sounds a bit bored. It's a shame that the unabridged version narrated by John Lee from Books on Tape is not available through brick and mortar retailers (BOT, a branch of Random House, supplies libraries, schools and download sites with product); it is the superior version. A Harper hardcover (Reviews, Mar. 10).

Product Description

In her most eagerly anticipated novel yet, Elizabeth George brings back Scotland Yard's Thomas Lynley to investigate a ruthless crime.

After the senseless murder of his wife, Detective Superintendent Thomas Lynley retreated to Cornwall, where he has spent six solitary weeks hiking the bleak and rugged coastline. But no matter how far he walks, no matter how exhausting his days, the painful memories of Helen's death do not diminish.

On the forty-third day of his walk, at the base of a cliff, Lynley discovers the body of a young man who appears to have fallen to his death. The closest town, better known for its tourists and its surfing than its intrigue, seems an unlikely place for murder. However, it soon becomes apparent that a clever killer is indeed at work, and this time Lynley is not a detective but a witness and possibly a suspect.

The head of the vastly understaffed local police department needs Lynley's help, though, especially when it comes to the mysterious, secretive woman whose cottage lies not far from where the body was discovered. But can Lynley let go of the past long enough to solve a most devious and carefully planned crime?

4.0étoiles sur 5 Flawed Look at Husbands without Wives and Children without Mothers, Mai 22 2008
This review is from: Careless In Red: A Novel (Hardcover)
Careless in Red will surprise most fans of the Thomas Lynley/Barbara Havers novels. Elizabeth George doesn't return to her roots, but attempts a more literary novel that primarily explores how fragile husbands and children are without wives and mothers to love and nurture them. Those who just want a good mystery will wonder why all the extra characters and plots are in place until they realize that the mystery is secondary to telling stories that build the major theme.

As the book opens, Lynley is a wreck following the murder of his wife and unborn child. He's been trekking along the coast without thought to comfort and safety, becoming little more than a homeless man. That mind-numbed state is disturbed when he spots a dead body and is pulled into the investigation. His police instincts are alerted when a woman he meets begins lying and he wants to find out why.

The book is rich in character development, relying on many different interacting narrators. Ms. George uses this device to explore many family mysteries, which may or may not be related to the crime mystery. If you find it fascinating to think about all the ways that families can become dysfunctional, this book is for you.

Within all these stories, there is a deep tragedy . . . the kind the ancient Greeks would have appreciated. Lynley senses that something like that might be looming behind the current events and helps to bring it to light.

I would rate this book higher, but the breakdown of Lynley and his fairly quick recovery didn't ring true to me. I can't exactly tell you why, but it set a false note that undermined the rest of the story for me. I also found the endings (which don't let anyone hint about to you) to be unsatisfying compared to the scale of the foundation for the novel.

I did find the book to be compelling. I stayed up late on two nights to finish.

1.0étoiles sur 5 Painful in Red, Nov. 14 2008
This review is from: Careless In Red Lp: A Novel (Hardcover)
If you are a fan of Elizabeth George, as I am, you will find this book excruciatingly painful. Unlike her previous books, this one is pretentious (giving characters names such as Daidre, Santo, Selevan, and Dellen does not make a novel literary!)and whenever the action veers away from police routine to personal relationships, it is downright precious - a cross between the worst of Mary Wesley and some third-rate whodunnit. The characterization at these moments is nowhere near George's usual highly plausible and enjoyable style. For example, when an 18-year old is found dead after a climbing fall, the female police officer investigating his death, upon discovering that the dead boy has a black eye from being punched, immediately asks the pathologist if he thinks the boy was into sadomasochism. Then, the father of the dead boy rips the clothes off his grieving wife : "In a fury, he made her naked. She arced to accept him and cried out as he took her." Please! What was she thinking? After the first 100 pages I couldn't bear to go on.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A KEENLY UNDERSTOOD NARRATION, Jui 1 2008
Par Gail Cooke (TX, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
One would be hard pressed to find a more perfect reader for the latest Detective Superintendent Thomas Lynley mystery than London born Charles Keating. After all, who else could neatly toss off such lines as "A bit daft, that, but it's summick to do, innit." with easy authenticity?

An experienced actor who appeared with the Royal Shakespeare Company at Stratford-Upon-Avon, he soon became known to American audiences with his work on TV's Another World and numerous Broadway performances. He brings both decisiveness and keen understanding to his narration.

As many will remember Lynley lost his wife in a previous novel, "No One To Witness" when she was fatally shot outside their London home. Numb with grief Lynley has fled London, going to Cornwall where he walks along the coast. Is as if he knows the miles he walks will not bring solace but perhaps some relief from the pain of his loss.

It is on one of these walks that he comes across a dead body, that of a rock climber, a young boy from the nearby village of Casvelyn. Of course, Lynley immediately notifies the local police, and another "of course" - knowing George the death was not an accident. Scotland Yard sends Havers to assist Lynley in the investigation and hopefully bring him back to London and the job he does so well.

The deceased was far from an innocent youth, having bedded a good number of the female population of Casvelyn. Thus, there's certainly no dearth of those who would have wished him dead and gone.

As readers of George have come to know her plots are complex and wonderfully character driven. Careless In Red is one more engrossing story from this award winning author (the Anthony and Agatha awards, and the Grand Prix de Litterature Policiere among them).

Highly recommended.
