Query: Horrid book from my favorite author

First let me say that I read five books a week and Ellizabeth George is my favorite author. I have been anxiously awaiting her new novel. Instead of taking the time to write a detailed review on this very forgettable book, let me just echo the rest of the reviewers...DO NOT BUY IT.I rarely put a book down without finishing.. I could not get through the first 100 pages. I did not like the characters, did not care what happened to them and did not want to read about them.
