Review
'The multi-faceted surprise ending to the taut, suspenseful plot is the juiciest plum in this can't-put-down novel.' -- Publishers Weekly on In Pursuit 'She writes extremely well, plots brilliantly and reaches an emotional level deeper than most ... Captivating' -- The Times on Deception 'The best plotter in the mystery game, [her] elegant literate flow puts many Brits to shame' -- Time Out on Deception 'Elizabeth George reigns as queen of the mystery genre.' -- Entertainment Weekly on Deception 'It's tough to resist George's storytelling, once hooked.' -- USA Today on Deception She is a great storyteller. The totality is a big fat, satisfying book.' -- Frances Fyfield, Sunday Express on In Pursuit 'A compelling mystery,intricately plotted, with multiple twists and a satisfyingly devious finale. George is brilliant at juggling so many motives and so many suspects, keeping the reader enthralled, and coming up with such a clever solution.' -- Marcel Berlins, The Times on In Pursuit 'George's nine best-selling novels of psychological suspense are burnished with the internationalism that is a result of dividing her time between California and London' -- Times
