Melissa –
I read many Adam Dalgleish novels back in the days when I did not keep a record of my reading. So it seemed right to go to the last one in the series and see what happened to the man over all those years.
And it was nice to see him tying the knot at last as well as solving one last case for us in his inimitable way.
P.D. James is an acquired taste because she does go into an enormous amount of detail. She really wants her reader to see her settings the way she saw them herself and occasionally does go a little far! However her books are so well written I can forgive her easily.
This is not an exciting, gripping thriller. Rather it is a beautifully written police procedural, comfortably paced and very, very British. It was a pleasure to read.
