Summary
From P.D. James, one of the masters of British crime fiction comes the tenth novel to feature commander Adam Dalgliesh.
A Certain Justice is a chilling murder mystery packed with forensic detail, set in the treacherous legal world of London.
Venetia Aldridge QC is a distinguished barrister. When she agrees to defend Garry Ashe, accused of the brutal murder of his aunt, it is one more opportunity to triumph in her distinguished career as a criminal lawyer. But just four weeks later, Miss Aldridge is found dead at her desk.
Commander Adam Dalgliesh, called in to investigate, finds motives for murder among the clients Venetia has defended, her professional colleagues, her family - even her lover. As Dalgliesh narrows the field of suspects, a second brutal murder draws them into greater complexities of intrigue and evil.
P.D. James, the bestselling author of Death Comes to Pemberley, Children of Men and Death In Holy Orders, once again explores the mysterious and intense emotions responsible for the unique crime of murder, with authority and sensitivity.
A Certain Justice is set in the legal world of London and possesses all of the qualities which distinguish P.D. James as a novelist.

Revisiting an old favourite
Having read all of P.D. James in print form it is great to find an old friend in a new format. This is one of her best. Great characters and intricate plotting. The superb narration demonstrates the quality of her writing perfectly. Daniel Weyman has a voice of just the right timbre for the text and his crystal clear diction and excellent pacing make for a great listening experience. If you are new to P.D. James you are in for a treat.

very enjoyable
really enjyed thisbook. Good suspenseful story and good characters although I did loose the thread of some names of characters and had to do a mental double take to remember who was who. Great narration.

Still very good
Well performed and beautifully written but starting to age. The precious appreciation of art, class, etc. Reflect back on a recent time that seems very long ago.
Still very enjoyable.

Totally dependable
As always, Dalglish never fails to entertain although sometimes it really does take a long time (over 14 hours) to get to the conclusion. Daniel Weyman does a great job with all the characters and is a joy to listen too but unless my concentration lapsed, there was still a killer not exposed at the novels conclusion. James really did know how to flesh out her characters and that is perhaps her greatest skill. I look forward to reading more of her novels but hope to find one just a little shorter.
