WITH NO ONE AS WITNESS


Elizabeth George writes excellent mysteries and this is the best one I've read yet. It follows two London police detectives, Lynley and Havers, as they track down a serial killer, and George turns a seemingly routine thriller plot into a stunning tour de force that had me fighting back tears in the last few chapters. I just learned that PBS has done some shows featuring the two detectives. I'm curious to see how tv does these outstanding characters, so richly detailed that they seem real people. Highest recommendation.
