    Praise for A Banquet of Consequences

    —The Washington Post

    “Irresistable.”
    —The Seattle Times

    “Undoubtedly one of Ms. George’s best mysteries, original in concept and fascinating in the breadth of its characters.”
    —The Washington Times

    “As absorbing as her first book in this acclaimed series. . . . [George is] one of the reigning queens of the genre.”
    —Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

    Praise for Elizabeth George

    “Elizabeth George is a superstar of the crime-fiction world, British Inspector Division. Deservedly so: Her tales always provide nuanced character studies and insights into social issues along with their intricate mysteries.”
    —The Seattle Times

    “It’s tough to resist the pull of [George’s] storytelling once hooked.”
    —USA Today

    “Ms. George can do it all, with style to spare.”
    —The Wall Street Journal

    “George’s . . . ability to continually enhance the portraits of Lynley, Havers, and other recurring characters while generating fully fleshed new ones for each novel is nothing less than superlative, and her atmospheric prose, complete with lovely and detailed descriptions of her setting, combines to add literary gravitas to her work . . . A worthy addition to her portfolio and one that simultaneously disturbs and satisfies.” 
    —Richmond Times-Dispatch

    “[Lynley is] one of the great character portraits in contemporary crime fiction.”
    —The Boston Globe
