Elizabeth George is a master of well-written suspense books. With this book, she takes good writing to a whole new level. If you haven’t read George’s previous novel, With No One As Witness, you MUST read that book first. What Came Before He Shot Her provides the background to the earlier one. In it, George takes a very unappealing protagonist and through masterful writing, insight, and brilliant characterization, creates a person who you do not want to feel sorry for, and yet you do. You know how the book will end, yet you want to shout warnings, you want to somehow help, and you want to reach out and yank the person into a new world. Read both these books. NOW.
