Bewertung: - Viel Roman, wenig Krimi
In gewohnter Qualität widmet Elizabeth George dem Innenleben der Figuren, ihrer Vorgeschichte, dem Beziehungsnetz, der psychologischen Seite viel Aufmerksamkeit. Bisher gelang es ihr meistens recht gut, dies mit einem stabilen Gerüst einer guten Handlung von Verbrechen über Ermittlungsarbeit bis zur Aufklärung zu verbinden. Bei "Careless in Red" leistet sie sich allerdings allerlei Ungereimtheiten: Wie kann Lynley seit sechs Wochen allein praktisch ohne Gepäck auf Wanderung sein ohne Portemonnaie und Geld, hat er auch gefastet, ist das nicht ein bisschen dick aufgetragen? Wie kann DI Hannaford ihn als den Finder des toten Jungen und damit potenziell Verdächtigen einfach dabehalten, sogar bereits, als alles noch wie ein Unfall aussieht? Wie kann sie ihn gleichzeitig in die Ermittlung einspannen, eine Doppelrolle als Ermittler und Verdächtiger dürfte in der Polizeiarbeit vollkommen ausgeschlossen sein. Und dann seine auch schon in einer anderen Rezension erwähnte erstaunlich schnelle ... weiter

Bewertung: - A KEENLY UNDERSTOOD NARRATION
One would be hard pressed to find a more perfect reader for the latest Detective Superintendent Thomas Lynley mystery than London born Charles Keating. After all, who else could neatly toss off such lines as "A bit daft, that, but it's summick to do, innit." with easy authenticity?

An experienced actor who appeared with the Royal Shakespeare Company at Stratford-Upon-Avon, he soon became known to American audiences with his work on TV's Another World and numerous Broadway performances. He brings both decisiveness and keen understanding to his narration.

As many will remember Lynley lost his wife in a previous novel, "No One To Witness" when she was fatally shot outside their London home. Numb with grief Lynley has fled London, going to Cornwall where he walks along the coast. Is as if he knows the miles he walks will not bring solace but perhaps some relief from the pain of his loss.

It is on one of these walks that he comes across ... weiter

Bewertung: - Flawed Look at Husbands without Wives and Children without Mothers
Careless in Red will surprise most fans of the Thomas Lynley/Barbara Havers novels. Elizabeth George doesn't return to her roots, but attempts a more literary novel that primarily explores how fragile husbands and children are without wives and mothers to love and nurture them. Those who just want a good mystery will wonder why all the extra characters and plots are in place until they realize that the mystery is secondary to telling stories that build the major theme.

As the book opens, Lynley is a wreck following the murder of his wife and unborn child. He's been trekking along the coast without thought to comfort and safety, becoming little more than a homeless man. That mind-numbed state is disturbed when he spots a dead body and is pulled into the investigation. His police instincts are alerted when a woman he meets begins lying and he wants to find out why.

The book is rich in character development, relying on many different interacting narrators. Ms. George uses ... weiter
