It's All Peachy for This George
by Daisy Maryles -- Publishers Weekly, 7/10/1997
With her ninth mystery, Deception on His Mind, debuting on the national charts after just a partial week on sale, Elizabeth George establishes herself as one of the most critically acclaimed and top selling literary mystery novelists of her generation. PW's starred review noted the "rich, engrossing novel that portrays a contemporary England that's culturally complex and simmering with tension," and Bantam reports more than 170,000 copies in print after two trips to press. That figure brings the total copies in print of George's books in the U.S. to almost four million. The publisher is supporting her latest book with national TV, radio and print advertising.
