A Murder of Quality by John LeCarré ★★☆☆☆

Kevin Spacey sitting on a couch with a drink in his hand the caption says Tart's drink Madeira, but boys like it. Perhaps that's why. They're frightful tarts.

Close up of Vera Farmiga with the caption I've got them! I've got them all. I know all their little secrets and I've got them in the hollow of my hand.

There are dislikable characters and then there are loathable characters - this story was a mix of both.  A dog was abused and killed, that was a murder I wanted avenged.  It was, so two stars.  

Good grief, the next book had better make up for this.

"The world sees them as showmen, fantasists, liars, as sensualists perhaps, not for what they are: the living dead."

    Bummer for you. But it seems this author is up and down with his books as I have seen you give four stars and then ratchet it down to two stars. Just out of curiosity, is that normal for this author to have books that are up and down with story content?
