Elizabeth George?  Hmmm, I've read so far everything she's written, as far
as I know, and I don't remember any scenes with graphic violence that I
would consider excessive.  Any particular book in mind?
I haven't read any Cornwell yet, so I can't comment.  What does Saylor
write?  His name is familiar.
... It's worse than wicked, my dear, it's vulgar.  -PUNCH-
