Holy cow, this is a long ass book at 687 pages. I reached a point of not caring. Darn!
Something to Hide by Elizabeth George is good writing, a huge plot line, and a message about a horrible subject. But OMG it's too freakin' long and absolutely belabors the plot.
That's a shame. I like this author. I've read many of her books that feature Detective Lynley and Detective Havers. But this one goes on and on and on.
I only paid one dollar at our local library sale. I felt committed to finish this book and I did. But damn this was hard work.
and that's my review. Whew! I am exhausted
Hi Joanne - well that solves that problem for us. I quite (at times) enjoy watching the tv reconstructions of Lynley and Havers ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteGlad to help you out. I like the author. This was just not the book.
DeleteI have no patience or the eyesight any more for anything massive. I'm totally awed you finished it!
ReplyDeleteNever surrender! I skimmed a LOT
