Hi Cindy, Here are the books by Elizabeth George which I have read: Elizabeth George books A GREAT DELIVERANCE PAYMENT IN BLOOD WELL-SCHOOLED IN MURDER A SUITABLE VENGANCE FOR THE SAKE OF ELAINA MISSING JOSEPH IN THE PRESENCE OF THE ENEMY PLAYING FOR THE ASHES DECEPTION ON HIS MIND IN PURSUIT OF THE PROPER SINNER A TRAITOR TO MEMORY A PLACE OF HIDINGShe also wrote I, RICHARD which I haven't read as yet. She may also have written more recent material, but I haven't as yet read it. As always, reading the books in order will lessen confusing circumstances in latter books, where mentioned events were covered in earlier mysteries.Happy reading, Greg Columbus, Ohio At 04:44 PM 1/8/07 -0800, you wrote:Thanks, Greg.
