This is real writing - Elizabeth George once again hits the mark in Playing For The Ashes. Her characters are like 'gold leaf'. Layer after layer of personal insight with each one displaying emotions as real as it can be crafted. She intertwines stories within a story so real to bring life to her subjects. This involved story of an struggling but talented cricket player intertwines his ambitious struggle to be England's finest player comes with a high price that appears (to him) as loyal fondness and generous with no apparent strings. One of E. George's best pen to paper and more than worth the effort to read a brilliant and talented writer who is above the bar in the mill of twisting,turning, roller coaster publications. Beautiful writing through and through. If you enjoy the Thomas Lynley series, this is one of the best.
