Query: Skip this Elizabeth George Novel

I'm a big Elizabeth George fan and would give five stars to her previous effort, With No one as Witness. However this one is nothing more than a fictionalized sociological study of the London underclass. George is usually great with charactar and dialog but the voices often ring false here, especially when the main character, a 12 year-old boy, is on stage. There is not much of a plot, really. Fans who've read With No One as Witness will understand how this book is going to end from the title. It takes a long,loooong time to get there.
