I have just confirmed that I am a complete and utter spoiler whore. I read an article saying there's a controversy about the latest Elizabeth George mystery, in which a "major character" dies. I've been reading the series from the beginning and I was immediately compelled to go out on the internet and find out who dies. It is, thankfully, not someone I care about.
Dawn: Is that supposed to scare me? Spike: Little tremble wouldn't hurt.

So, who is it, Ginger? Huh? Huh?

Ginger, you must tell me. I love reading mysteries and I returned to reading her books recently. Her recent ones aren't as good as the earlier ones, but I'm still interested.

Lynley's wife, Helen, dies and he quits the force. I wandered into the forums at Elizabeth George's website [link] and discovered, once again, that all fandoms have crazies. "Elizabeth George: senseless killer" was among the mildest.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Wow. That's kind of surprising. *sigh*

Maybe trying to have Lynley not be depressed was too difficult to sustain.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I mean seriously.

I do like EG's mysteries, but in small doses. She seems to subscribe to the 'what kind of crap can I fling at my characters now?" school of writing. I made the mistake of reading three of her novels in a row and then having to take a major break from her.
I'm just glad that the character being offed isn't Barbara.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
yeah, me too. I really like her.

That was really why I checked. I'm not sure I'd stay interested in the series without Barbara.
