A review by jdgcreates
For the Sake of Elena by Elizabeth George

4.0

(3.5) Another installment of Lynley and Havers and an intriguing mystery set on the campus of Cambridge made this a very good read, but the author gives way too much detail still--to the point of getting in the way of the plot. Good writing is not just about the quality of the writing itself but also knowing how the reader is experiencing the book and so when the mystery starts to unravel, cutting back on all the description so we don't have to skim it!

As far as the characters, there is some real growth with both Lynley and Havers and I am excited to see where the next book takes them!
