Summary: nicely written but not very interesting
Comment: This is my first P.D. James novel and one of the few mystery books I've read. Sadly, I'm not hooked. Ms. James has a beautiful grasp of the English language(which is why I give 3 stars and not 2), but this book's plot is quite ponderous, with too many characters to keep track of and too many minor stories running alongside the main one. And at 548 pages it isn't a quick read. James' fans might enjoy it, but anybody looking for a good mystery might want to look elsewhere.
Rating: 4
Summary: Quite Good Reading Material
Comment: Overall, this murder mystery was coldly realistic and quite rivetting. However, the talk gets a bit lengthy and tedious, but much of it is also vital to the story. I enjoyed this book, and recommended it.
Rating: 4
Summary: Another good one from PD James
Comment: A body is discovered on the coast of England. Accident, suicide, or murder? When Adam Dalgliesh comes to investigate, readers will know it must be murder. Then an old woman is murdered, and the plot thickens. Dalgliesh begins to suspect it has something to do with an event from the past: incest, a secret marriage, thievery... When a third body, that of a High Church Archdeacon, turns up, the hunt is on.
Subtle, literary, and deep, Death in Holy Orders has everything needed for a great read.
