Book Description

From Publishers Weekly
In her latest Commander Adam Dalgliesh detective novel, James subtly
deepens the complexities of his personality, making him an ever more
credible protagonist. When two bodies are discovered with their throats
slashed in a London church, Dalgleish is called upon to solve the case.
One victim is Sir Paul Berowne, former Minister of the Crown; the other
is a tramp accustomed to sleeping in the church vestibule. It seems
that these deaths may be tied to those of two young women who have recently
been employed in the Berowne household. Dalgleish feels an unusual empathy
in this case; he had known Berowne and sensed several parallels in their
lives. This sense of compassion is one of the things that distinguishes
James’s novels. In delving into what she calls "the fascination of character,"
she makes each actor in the drama memorable. The characters here read
Trollope and Philip Larkin; they are knowledgeable about architecture
and art. Yet James’s civilized digressions do not detract from the suspense
of the plot. She does not employ horrific details for shock effect,
but her step-by-step description of procedural details, particularly
those of forensic medicine, totally immerse readers in the investigation.
Literate readers who have not yet made Adam Dalgliesh’s acquaintance
should rush to the bookstores for this one.
Book Description
When the quiet Little Vestry of St. Matthew’s Church becomes the blood-soaked
scene of a double murder, Scotland Yard Commander Adam Dalgliesh faces
an intriguing conundrum: How did an upper-crust Minister come to lie,
slit throat to slit throat, next to a neighborhood derelict of the lowest
order? Challenged with the investigation of a crime that appears to
have endless motives, Dalgliesh explores the sinister web spun around
a half-burnt diary and a violet-eyed widow who is pregnant and full
of malice–all the while hoping to fill the gap of logic that joined
these two disparate men in bright red death. . . .
