The only one I had my husband read...such a challenge to have me forgive the death of Helen...done very well ( )

An incredible work. I think it's a very realistic and accurate of how a very simple event in an unfortunate's life can destroy so many lives with a rippling effect. In this instance, if only one person had acted a bit sooner, or a bit kinder, or a bit stronger, the tragic outcome could have been avoided. You can't place unequivocal blame here because everyone tried in their own misguided ways to help.

My only complaint was that the why, as in why did the Blade choose Helen as the victim--was there a connection between him and the serial killer, was it a favor, or did it have nothing to do with him and Blade was settling his own score with Lynley himself? That why wasn't answered. ( )

Don't think this was the best choice for my first Elizabeth Berg book. Grew weary of the British slang. The ending was not what I expected (which was good, I guess) but the book was way too long & the characters were not endearing. ( )
