Another Great PD James Book
599181
This is one of the later Inspector Dagliesh  books.  It is more involved in characterization than mystery, and the Church of England is a large part of the plot.

As with all James' books it is erudite, intelligent, wise and interesting.

I've always love P.D. James and Adam Dalgliesh has bee a favorite of mine. James has always devoted her writings to great characters and the depth in her characters are what I look for in a great story.

As usual!!! Julie James keeps you turning pages with this latest in her FBI series. You are lost in the characters of Brooke and Cade while enjoying other secondary characters. You also get to catch up with other characters from previous books. I loved the whole book and am enjoying going back for a re read. Highly recommended.

PD James plot twists always keeps you on your toes.  This book has been especially mysterious.  She had many characters who twisted and turned into one another.  The conclusion was surprising to say the least.

Teased again with possible sighting of Sandy, his still wife and Cleo's surprise in their relationship, Roy Grace is hard at work dealing with a nefarious liver transplant scheme.  Mr. James keeps his readers on the edge of their seats - knowing he has yet more stories out there.  Great read!

I have read all eight of the Dave Slater series by P. F. Ford, starting with Death of a Temptress and ending with The Kidney Donor. I appreciate that the author has thoughtfully included the number of each book in the series because it is so much easier to order them. The author has written a series of police procedurals that follow a well-thought-out story arc, with each book both a self-contained mystery that Slater solves, as well as furthering the storylines of the characters. Ford is a master of characterization and has created some intriguing and frustrating characters for readers to enjoy and follow. In each  book, Slater deals with a mystery and we meet a charming cast of support characters, such as DS Norman, and later in the series, DC Darling. I really enjoyed the characters, the mysteries and the way Ford has carried the characters forward in their individual storylines, as well as how the later books in the series resolve issues brought forth in the earlier books. These books are great for fans of Hill's Dalziel and Pascoe series. I'm very sorry to have finished these books and will enjoy rereading them at some point in the future.

I am a fan of author Julie James, generally love all books she writes and this one was no exception. She delivers everytime and I love that she writes about "Greek Heroes" which is a favorite male lead hero for me. I generally buy books from MS James because I know I will get a great read.

Niney year old P.D. James is a master of the police procedural novel. In this novel published in 2003 we join with Detective Adam Dalgliesh and his team as they seek to discover who is responsible for several murders at the Dupayne Museum in London. The museum's purpose is to explore the cultural life of Great Britain from 1918-39 (the interwar years). The museum is onwed by the Dupayne family. Two of the Dupayne siblings Marcus and Caroline wish to keep the museum  in the control of their familywhile the youngest brother Dr. Neville Dupayne  does not. Murder ensues! The Murder Room is located in the museum; it is dedicated to preserving artfacts of murders which transpired in the interwar period. The murders in this novel have an eerie resemblance to these earlier crimes!
  The book has a cast of well-rounded characters which will keep your eye riveted to the 415 pages. The book shows James in top form. It will provide hours of entertainment for you as PD JAMES again explores the heart of darkness of humanity. Excellent! Dalgliesh is a complex and highly intelligent character who is well drawn by James in this and many other novels.

James never disappoints. I would love to see more from him. You can read the books separately and they make sense but reading the whole series is better because they are connected in ways that make even more sense. His sense of humor is fabulous. He spares no details developing the characters. I don't care for books with 200 names. He has a short number of characters that are well defined and easy to remember.

P. D. James never disappoints. This tale of murder leads you in different directions, causing you to change your guess about the murderer almost to the last page. Even the famed Inspector Dagleish seems surprised  at the end.

I am a fan of I. J. Parker and her Akitada series and I look forward to each new book. This latest book continues my interest in Akitada and his personal problems plus his ability to solve each crime. Again I'm looking forward to the next book.

Another great book from the author with the protagonists Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus. This story was nice and simple which made it a very smooth read. One of the main reasons I really like this series is that it is one of the few series and books that involved old style police investigations, interviews and interrogations where the detectives actually solve the crime.

J.A.  Jance scores again.  I've read four of her books; all have been most entertaining.  The characters are good, multi-plots keep things moving.  I recommend this book for readers who like cop/detective books.

Martin Walker is on my list as a favorite mystery writer author.  I have read all the Bruno, Chief of Police books and have never been disappointed.  Enjoy the narrative about the location, the interesting characters, food topics, historical descriptions, etc.  Always checking for new releases from this author, confident it will be an enjoyable read.

If you live in the DC Area and like cop books then this is a must.  If you liked the book Homicide Life on the Street (about the Baltimore PD Homicide unit) then you will like this.  The author reports on the inner workings of the Prince George's County Police Homicide Squad for a month.  Its well written, and a great incite to how the squad works and the personalities of those who make it work.

Dr Mike has done a great job explaining PD, medical treatment and research around it. The information in this book is good for both the patient and the care giver. Great Work Mike...Thanks
