I did enjoy this book, and I find that, as opposed to other people, EG does have an excellent command of english. These days there are so many americanisms in our language anyway, it would be really difficult to know what language an english person would or would not
use. The only thing that worries me is that this seems to be the end of Lynley & Co. They've all ended up with ends tied up in their personal lives, which leads us to assume that this is it....So what's next ?
I don't have the book in front of me...have returned it to the library, but I love the phrase where Lynley, deciding about Helen, describes how he feels..The thing that describes her against the thing that defines her. An elegant way to put his dilemma. Well done EG. I shall remember that phrase for a long time. |
