Book Reviews of A Traitor to Memory

Book Review: A Cheese Puff Ending Tacked on to an Otherwise 'Okay' Book!!
Summary: 1 Stars

I'd tried Eliz. George after seeing one of the Inspector Lynley stories on PBS - they make a better job of it. Her writing's very uneven. I never believed the bookseller from the "Over Sixties" - he wasn't drawn very well: he's a mouldering old man one minute who sounds like he's positively green with mold in places - like his clothes are tinged with it or his walrus moustache, his conversation is so fusty - and chapters later he's throwing a fit worthy of a six-year-old (you can just see him kicking a wall! George is NOT at her best when she shows her characters throwing fits) -- but then, as a character, his dog was convincing!!

Trash. I'm not sure I'd waste my time on another of her novels -not when they are so poorly resolved.
