Query: Where was the editor?

I've enjoyed all of the previous Lynley/Havers books, but was greatly disappointed with this one. First of all, it is about twice as long as it needs to be. The plot meanders all over the place, with too many loose threads and contradictions. The basic characters, with the exception of Winston, don't show us anything new and are hardly part of the story. The writing on the other hand is pure George, a pleasure to read, except for the growing disappointment and frustration as the plot frays apart.A good job of editing could have turned this into a worthy book. As it is now, I am sorry I wasted so much time on such a frustrating venture.
