Book it

"believing the lie" by Elizabeth George-- did that book need to be 610 pages long? No, no it did not. Did an editor touch it? The broody wandering hopeful-hopelessness speaks inspiration by Kate Atkinson and Susan Hill. But the execution makes a reader just want more books by those two authors. Alas. Undoubtedly, I will keep reading more George books because I think Barbara Havers is a great character who has completely bewitched me over the course of this series. But these 610 pages have made me cranky.
