A Taste for Death (Adam Dalgliesh, Bk 7)
reviewed on + 6 more book reviews


Excellent, beautifully written mystery from a Master. The characters are particularly well-nuanced, and the liturgical background adds another layer of depth to the plot. Her writing is so vivid that the book takes on a life of its own in which I am totally engrossed until the ending. With P.D.James, I have been known to read the last chapter and immediately turn to the beginning to start again so the enjoyment does not disappear. It is a rare writer who provoked that response. Highly recommend!!
