On the East Anglican seacoast a small theological college hangs precariously on an eroding shoreline and an equally precarious future. Then, the body of a student is found buried in the sand, and the boy’s influential father demands that Scotland Yard investigate. Adam Dalgleish, the son of a parson, once spent happy summers at the school. A detective who loves poetry, a man who has known loss and discovery, Dalgliesh is the perfect candidate to look for the truth in a remote, rarified community of the faithful–and the frightened. For when one death leads to another, Dalgliesh finds himself steeped in a world of good and evil, of stifled passions and hidden pasts, where someone has cause not just to commit one crime, but to begin an unholy order of murder. . . .

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, so much that it was hard for me to put down most nights. PD James is a great author, one of my favorites, and does a great job describing everything so vividly. I also enjoy the twist and turns she puts into her books, as well as the fact that just when you think yo...

This is actually the first PD James book I had seen made into a movie on Masterpiece Theatre and I fell in love with the twists and turns of the show. The book is even better..written almost poetically and bringing the reader in to understand more about the characters.
