Original Sin
Original Sin | P. D. James
10 posts | 16 read | 3 to read
Adam Dalgliesh takes on a baffling murder in the rarefied world of London book publishing in this masterful mystery from one of our finest novelists. Commander Adam Dalgliesh and his team are confronted with a puzzle of impenetrable complexity. A murder has taken place in the offices of the Peverell Press, a venerable London publishing house located in a dramatic mock-Venetian palace on the Thames. The victim is Gerard Etienne, the brilliant but ruthless new managing director, who had vowed to restore the firm's fortunes. Etienne was clearly a man with enemies—a discarded mistress, a rejected and humiliated author, and rebellious colleagues, one of who apparently killed herself a short time earlier. Yet Etienne's death, which occurred under bizarre circumstances, is for Dalgliesh only the beginning of the mystery, as he desperately pursues the search for a killer prepared to strike and strike again.

A walk on the beach: and then a copy of the Times books feature left at the table in the pub. So I've added this one to the wishlist.

It takes a few pages before getting involved into the plot but all in all a good story and well written. #2020

Mystery solved. Not one of her best, saved by the atmosphere of its setting by the Thames. I found the ending unconvincing, although the most likely suspect did do it.

My current mystery read. I am never without a detective mystery on the go. So far this one is really good, but oh my goodness, isn't the cover awful?
