The Black Tower
The Black Tower | P. D. James
Commander Dalgliesh is recuperating from a life-threatening illness when he receives a call for advice from an elderly friend who works as a chaplain in a home for the disabled on the Dorset coast. Dalgliesh arrives to discover that Father Baddeley has recently and mysteriously died, as has one of the patients at Toynton Grange. Evidently the home is not quite the caring community it purports to be. Dalgliesh is determined to discover the truth of his friend's death, but further fatalities follow and his own life is in danger as he unmasks the evil at the heart of Toynton Grange.

Another square crossed off for December #BookSpinBingo, and another satisfying P.D. James. This mystery could have been a standalone novel, and a fine one, but it also dragged a bit, especially in the beginning. Adam did *not*, amazingly, figure things out with chapters to go and tell us so, but then he *was* convalescing. Looking forward to reading more of the series next year.

Mehso-so

Just ok. Not something I see myself returning to. Was fun trying to fit the pieces together and see if I could figure out who did it though.

Here‘s my TBR for #24B4Monday and #cosyreadingnight this weekend

My travel buddies are excited for some adventures too.

We‘re planning to finish the Janis Joplin biography and get at least the first chapter of The Black Tower read

Andrew65 I remember watching the Black. Tower episode on tv many years ago. 5y
BacklistReader @Andrew65 I‘ll have to see if I can find that. I didn‘t know it was a show. 5y
Andrew65 Looks like there were 6 episodes and wow, it was 1985! https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzC4Eq-mJTP_jo1hLHc6eq6SOOCCiym_V (edited) 5y
BacklistReader @Andrew65 oh cool. Maybe I‘ll do a comparison after I finish reading it. Thank you. 5y
Andrew65 @BacklistReader Some good actors in it. Roy Marsdon made a great Adam Dalgleish. 5y

The year of P.D. James is starting a bit early. The bag I take to work needs to fit specific dimensions and mass markets are the only books that fit in the bag. So here is to finishing my P.D. James back catalogue in 2019.
