"I certainly miss the BBC series of Dalgliesh, but enjoy Ms. James's ponderous books as well. Such precise language and excellent characters."

"I'm working my way through PD James as well - I can't decide if I like the way she mixes up the POVs between new characters/suspects and the crew of cops she uses, but I do love Adam Dalgelish."

"So sad to have to stop partway through this book. So much to like in it, but this one was just too creepy for me."

"This is the first book I have actually read written by P.D. James. But I am familiar with her stories through PBS. Every one they have made into a movie, I have seen. I have admired her work for years. This is one of the few times I can say that I would recommend the movie to most people over the book. James is meticulous in detail and uses a plethora of uncommon words. The story moves slowly. If you enjoy reading the classics, you may enjoy this book. If you prefer faster moving plots, with less character description, I would recommend renting the movies instead."
