'Absorbing ... the pleasure of the book is the slow, surprising and often shocking unravelling of the various links between the main characters' -- Marcel Berlins, The Times 'A long and absorbing read that will please lovers of the traditional crime novel' -- Scotland on Sunday 'Elizabeth George orchestrates the family-secrets theme like a maestro ... worthy of a standing ovation.' -- Amazon.com 'keeps the reader on the knife's edge of suspense, thanks to George's skill at weaving together intriguing characters, disturbing action, police procedure, psychological insight, and mordant wit. First-rate suspense with a stunner of an ending.' -- Booklist 'A very accomplished crime writer who is able to keep the reader's suspense right up to the last page.' -- Woman's Way, Dublin 'Thoroughly enjoyable.' -- Bookseller 'A Traitor to Memory is more PD James than Ruth Rendell ... very convincing ... the book makes a serious and valid point about what is left of the personality of a musical prodigy if the music is taken away.' -- Classical Music 'Plots of dazzling inventiveness are the hallmark of George's first-rate murder mysteries. A story to keep you engrossed al the way to Inverness and back.' -- Livewire
