http://therefreshingtree.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html

Monday, June 04, 2007. On Chesil Beach by Ian McEwan. A beach honeymoon amid shifting sands. Nan A Talese / Doubleday. 203 pp. $22. Reviewed by Maxine Clarke. For The Inquirer (3 June 2007).

The refreshing tree: What came before he shot her

http://therefreshingtree.blogspot.com/2006/10/what-came-before-he-shot-her.html

Monday, October 16, 2006. What came before he shot her. New Elizabeth George an odd prequel. Her 14th Scotland Yard novel treats events leading to the 13th. An intriguing premise fails to develop. What Came Before He Shot Her. HarperCollins. 560 pp. $26.95. Reviewed by Maxine Clarke. In With No One as Witness, the unlucky 13th (and previous) book in the series, one of the core characters is shot. Reviewers did their duty and did not reveal the victim's name. In George's new book, What Came Before...Georg...
