P. D. James
THE MULTIMILLION-COPY BESTSELLING ADAM DALGLIESH SERIES FROM THE 'QUEEN OF ENGLISH CRIME' ( Guardian)
'A legend. VAL MCDERMID
'P. D. James took the classic crime novel and turned up the dial.' MICK HERRON
'Perhaps her greatest novel.' Guardian
PERFECT FOR FANS OF VAL MCDERMID, RUTH RENDELL AND ELLY GRIFFITHS
Dalgliesh thought he was inured to horror - but this was the first time he'd stumbled upon a murdered body.
When Commander Adam Dalgliesh visits Larksoken, a remote headland community on the Norfolk coast in the shadow of a nuclear power station, he expects to be engaged only in the sad business of tying up his late aunt's estate. A serial killer known as 'the Whistler' has been terrorising the area - but it isn't his case. He isn't going to get involved.
Then, not far from his aunt's home, he stumbles on a body. Unable now to keep his distance, he must navigate not only the looming weight of the power station's influential leaders but his aunt's friends and neighbours - all of whom could be suspects - if he wants to help the local police understand this latest crime.
But could there really be more than one murderer here?

She is wonderful with her descriptions of people..Something I missed, or didn’t appreciate first time round, was her humour.
I really like Adam Dalgliesh as a character, even though he is a very private man. It’s what makes him attractive
One of her best

Set on a bleak, isolated coast of Norfolk, watched over by a Nuclear power station, Larksoken is the perfect setting for misfits & the disenchanted. This is Pre-Skandi Noir! The depressing landscape & the inertia of life, exacerbated by the British inability to communicate on an emotional level results in a psychological depth not usual in detective fiction. But it's not hard going! There's enough humour & light to keep it entertaining. And enough characters that you won't guess who did it, well you might but only after thinking it was a dozen others first.
Although this book is one of the Inspector Adam Dalgliesh series it works as a stand alone novel. If you like Morse you'll like this. It's not cosy crime but it's not overtly violent or gruesome so it's also fine for the squeamish.
Pre-Skandi Noir... Norfolk Noir
