Sinner and his supporters argued that North Dakota was built by courageous settlers who sacrificed all that they had to settle a land plagued by drought, frigid winters, and hostile inhabitants.
Sinner explained that the legislature had made the difficult decision to ask the state's residents to, in the tradition of the past, make a sacrifice for the well-being of the state.
Sinner admitted that the personal attacks were "painful." He explained, however, that he did not respond "in kind" to the CNC's attacks because he did not want to "reduce this important discussion to mean-spirited, personal attacks from not just the opponents but me as well" (personal communication, August 20, 1990).

 Amazon.ca: Books: In Pursuit of the Proper Sinner   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Author Elizabeth George presents her popular detectives Thomas Lynley and Barbara Havers with one of their most grisly and difficult cases ever as they search for clues to a bloody crime while struggling to repair their own strained partnership.

Elizabeth George fans will love this book, but it may be a bit difficult for those who are not acquainted with this mystery series and her main characters, Thomas Lynley and Barbara Havers.

And, of course, fans will get an eyeful of George's trademark; her vivid descriptions of death: "At her feet, a young man lay curled like a foetus, dressed head-to-toe in nothing but fl, with that same colour puckering burnt flesh from eye to jaw on one side of his face".
In Pusuit of The proper sinner represents return to form for George, although she runs the risk at this point of being over fond of her hero, just as Sayers was of Peter Wimsey.
I hope that George takes Lynley further, as leaving him out of her last novel and relying on the charicatured and doomed Havers was a mistake.

Elizabeth George is a wonderful writer-she grabs hold of you and doesn't let go, even after you have closed the book.
George's books is the combination of great mystery and the growing relationship/friendship between Lynley, Havers and the other people in their world (Simon, Helen, etc.).
The only problem is that George didn't give enough attention to the second plot which could really have been more interesting than the first plot.

Consumer Summary: With "In The Presence of the Enemy" still being my favorite of the series and being a bit disappointed with "Deception on his Mind", I was eagerly anticipating this installment of the series.
George is one of the gifted writers that make you read every word for fear of missing a vital plot link.
The story was similar to "For the Sake of Elena" with Nicola Maiden's tawdry living and relations with what seemed the entire country of England, but still George makes it fresh.
