A few lengths .....

They are all there all the usual characters dElizabeth George, they have a more or less important in this novel but they are present and true to what quon knows their character.
No heavy denquête with potential culprits that should "peel" the alibis. No, this time, this is different. The nephew of a rich industrialist was found drowned on the property and Linley, the phlegmatic (but also tortured) must go investigate on site to be sure that it comes much of an accident. He will help his friends and always either one or the other, they will discover what they were not looking. That is all well hidden secrets of a family that didnt smooth and tidy appearance that. All the more that the family group is itself complex recomposed couples, children released from forfeiture where they had sunk (but do not will they fall?), Ambiguous relationships.

This is not with events in spades and explosive situations that the author will captivate us. This is just his way of probing with the souls, to search where people hide what they do not want to show (because it belongs to the past or because it's blurred face (or hidden) of their personality) that attracts and author the reader interested. One question haunts us: we wonder who lies constantly and to whom, why?
Are all truths are good to say? It would take a shortcut to think that either are silent or speaking Things are much more complicated, it may distill a grain of truth, just a bit for everything to get better or unfortunately, however, trigger a cataclysm .

History advance so slow paced, individuals who inhabit. Fortunately from time to time, a more hectic element tip, a red giant or Barbara agreeing to a makeover, putting some fantasy in this atmosphere "so British". For it is there, too, the art of this great lady of the thriller. She is American and his novels located in the UK, not always in the same corner, but whatever the place chosen, it seems to know him and his descriptions make us feel the atmosphere of the piece of land elected. There is even a map in the first pages.

The protagonists, besides those quon knows from his earlier writings are ordinary people who believe, doubt, foresee not always good to say truths have confused ideas and mixed feelings, interpreting what they feel men and women as MOICE makes you and quon includes, their reactions seem human and this makes them credible.

The writing of Elizabeth George is always asked, contained, well targeted vocabulary. The chapters are long and can lead us in different places between the protagonists in the same thread: accidental drowning or no nephew.
The pace seemed to me more irregular than in his later novels. To know that i had the impression dune loss of power for some passages without falling into the filling and unnecessary verbiage. This is simply that the interest seemed to me less. Some scenes described by the menu, could also, in my view, be alleviated. Perhaps ny had he not need six hundred and sixty pages to make a very good book?

As laccoutumé (especially on his last album) we feel dawn the next few milestones collection and this gives, already now, want to buy it
