Just One Evil Act by Elizabeth George

Well, I finally finished Just One Evil Act by Elizabeth George this morning. I love her books but dang, they're long! This one was 717 pages, so I just checked, and it took me 3 weeks and a day to read. Whoa! Too long. But like I said, I like her writing, especially the Lynley novels.

What have you been reading that you've really enjoyed? Please let us know!
