Careless in Red (Abridged) Audiobook

" A little slow at first but it picked up once Havers came on the scene. "

" I really like the way Elizabeth George writes. She keeps it interesting throughout the book. This one kept me entertained throughout. One of the side stories I felt was an unnecessary addition to the book but it was a side story and not to big of an issue. "

" Ins. Lynley is grieving after the death of his wife and stumbles upon a body or a rock climber. He gets involved in the investigation and Havers comes to watch after him. Typical Elizabeth George. Very good. "

" This is the one Paulien gave me for my birthday last year. It takes place after Lynley's wife is murdered. "

" Not as good as her previous books. "

" I haven't read an Elizabeth George for awhile....and I used to really enjoy them. This was a good one.. full of suspense and surprises at the end. Not enough Barbara Havers....I love her character! "

" The only thing I did not like was the number of characters, with secondary stories. Big book lots of reading "

" I am hooked on the Lynley & Havers & St. James series. Love them all. "

" I found the book very slow. It must be a British thing. Anyway, after a while I found myself wondering if it was worth finishing... not really, but I finished it anyway. I've read worse. "

" Certainly not what I consider Ms George's best work. However, it is an interesting read with lots of red herrings and over-the top father-son casualties. I haven't entirely forgiven her for killing Helen Clyde or for neglecting Barbara Havers, but she's the author and she calls the shots. "

" This is the first Elizabeth George I'd read, and I really liked Inspector Lynley: I'll read more of them. This one seems to have an intriguing spin: All the characters seem guilty! "

" A long book (600+ pages) but it intrigued me enough that I couldn't put it down. Lots of twists and turns and a rather surprising ending. It takes place in a rather remote area of England and the dialect was somewhat difficult at times to follow, but I did enjoy reading the book! "

" I love English mysteries and Elizabeth George is my all-time favorite. Thomas Lynley and Barbara Havers, their associates, friends and neighbors have all become familiar over the years. George's books are complex and compelling. I hope she keeps writing for the rest of my life! "

" Love this series and Lynley. George is a terrific and intelligent writer--one of the very few that can send me scrambling for the dictionary! "

" Good, but not quite as complex as usual. "

" I liked this one. Even though I didn't know how Lynley could possibly recover from the last book's tragic end. I think it will be able to go on. Good. I love Havers. I don't want her to disappear. "

" This was very hard for me to follow, as far as who all the characters were. Possibly due to not having read any of her other books? "

" This was my first read of a Elizabeth George novel and I loved it! Very well written. I loved how she wrote the characters so well. I felt like I got to know them very well by the end of the book. A very satisfying read. "

" George is another of my favorite writers.This book is not disappointing.Having finished this book and enjoyed it,I would like to see more of Barbara one of George's characters as well as Deborah and her husband. This book appears to be a lead in to still another story. "

" I enjoy reading books by Elizabeth George...but I found this story to be slow starting and I did not finish the book. Maybe I was in a weird mood as I read...sometimes that can be a factor in how I feel about a book. I will try it anain later...maybe. "

" She's a great writer if you're into mysteries. "

" This is a well wrought mystery like all the Thomas Lynley series with well developed characters and plot. A cracking good read. "

" I'm usually pretty good at guessing the murderer, but with 30 pages to go I have no clue. "

" fan of the lynley / havers books for sure "

" Elizabeth George's books get better as she gets older. They become more complex and intriguing and are much, much more about the main characters than the mysteries they solve. "

" Good story, but some parts were a bit graphic for me. Focused too much on sex. "

" See review under "A place of Hiding" by Elizabeth George Copyright 2008 "

" While I'm not a mystery lover, George is a master at creating character and place, and so kept me fully engaged. "

" Took me two years to finish this book - boring... "

" Great depth of character and I love a mystery where the roots lie in the past. "

" Murder mysteries are not my favorite genre but I decided to give this one a go. There were lots of characters to keep in mind and many plot details designed to throw one off the track. The Cornish coastal atmosphere was nice but in the end I was left hungry as with a non nutritious meal. "
