Helpful Score: 2

This is a wonderful, tragic book which has haunted me for days after reading it. Elizabeth George's writing just gets better and better. So many mysteries set in Britain are so cozy you need to keep the insulin handy; not in this series. This book tells the tale of the tragic lives of 3 orphaned children in dire poverty. From the start you know this is the boy who killed Helen Lyndley, and this just adds to the pity you feel to watch his descent from hope to despair. Highly recommended by an avid mystery reader.
