Adam Dalgliesh's latest outing possesses the confident interplay of classical discipline, contemporary morality and strong evocation of place that had hitherto distinguished James's novels.

James is the author of twenty previous books, most of which have been filmed and broadcast on television in the United States and other countries. The fact that the story is so well done makes it worse, in that it carries some legitimacy to the idea of abuse being minimal. The unlikely explanation of his early acquaintance with St Anselm's justifies the Commander's knowledge of theology and church history. D. James as a novelist: the sensitive evocation of place, a complex and credible mystery, respect for forensic detail, and the tension of a plot that never flags. Even at the time I thought it was a strange word to use and I knew that he wasn't just thinking at that moment of Ronald Treeves; he was thinking of the college.Number 48 is on the south side of Bedford Square, a five minute walk from Totten ham Court Road or Goodge Street underground stations and a ten minute walk from Russell Square.

But Dalgleish smiles when he is advised to open himself to love - and then rushes off to St Anselm's when he hears about Margaret.

Anselms, the fictional elitist theological college on a remote Suffolk coast, which is known for turning out the best and brightest Anglican priests, but is now in danger of being decommissioned by the CoE powers that be (not to mention the very real threat of the college tumbling into the North Sea by an eroding cliffline).J’ai plus qu’adorer le personne de Emma qui je trouve est tout pile assez mis en avant, et le personnage de l’inspecteur n’est pas trop présent.

I got the impression that the police sergeant--I think his name was Jones or Evans, a Welsh name anyway--was sorry he'd asked the question about Ronald being depressed. But still he appears night after night, with that accusing reproachful gaze, the damp sand falling in clumps from his plain, rather pudgy face. D. James (author of Death Comes to Pemberley and Children of Men) masterfully explores an isolated and beleaguered community coping with the evil and disruption of murder. This time around I was bothered though by the very sympathetic portrayal of one of the characters, Father John, a convicted pedophile. Indeed, by far the weakest moments in the book are the two occasions on which the author feels it necessary to make rapid progress by using the most artificial of literary devices, the narrative letter.In 2000 she celebrated her eightieth birthday and published her autobiography, Time to Be in Earnest. Adam Dalgleish though it is difficult to imagine he is actually a policeman; perhaps he should have followed in his father's footsteps and become a vicar.
