Reviews
"[A] superbly realized setting. … The plot unfolds at its Jamesian leisure; the rich, almost posh quality of its slow unveiling allows for sharp sketches of character and place…. [James] ought never to be confused with such practitioners of the murder-in-the-vicarage genre as Agatha Christie. She is subtler, more sophisticated, much more adept at creating character, and her social conservatism gives her a much darker view of human nature." -Martin Levin,The Globe and Mail "[T]he premise is delicious." -Telegraph(UK) "The Murder Roomis a brilliantly crafted novel, brimming with detail and rich in suspense; a further testament to James's skills in both." -Waterstone's Books Quarterly(UK) "If crime fiction were classical music, P. D. James's books would be filed under Grand Opera. In a sense, James is the last of the great Golden Age crime writers. She has an instinctive grasp of narrative: despite the leisurely prose, the shocks are beautifully handled. The plot purrs along like a well-designed and well-maintained engine. James writes with rare authority about the civil service, the police and the justice system. She also does an exceptionally good corpse - she never cheapens the physical appearance of death, but describes it with both respect and clinical attention to detail." -The Independent(UK) "James's eye for architecture and nature is rare in most genres of the novel now, and this skill for physical description -- along with her psychological acuity." -The Guardian(UK) Praise forDeath in Holy Orders, The National Bestseller "Baroness James of Holland Park has lost none of her power as a storyteller.Death in Holy Ordersis a great novel about Heaven, Hell, death and judgment." -The Globe and Mail "James is a delight to read, a writer in love with the language as much as her characters and her detailed plots.… This is an exquisite book, perfect in its details." -Winnipeg Free Press "P. D. James's latest mystery novel,Death in Holy Orders, reconfirms her place high in the panoply of contemporary crime writers…. This is a book to be savoured." -National Post "This is a grand, gothic novel of gut-wrenching suspense, satisfying at all levels. . . . Here is a novel which goes beyond mere enjoyment." -Frances Fyfield

Synopsis
The Dupayne, a small private museum on the edge of London's Hampstead Heath devoted to the interwar years 1919-39, is in turmoil. The trustees--the three children of the museum founder, old Max Dupayne--are bitterly at odds over whether it should be closed. Then one of them is brutally murdered, and what seemed to be no more than a family dispute erupts into horror. For even as Commander Adam Dalgiesh and his team investigate the first killing, a second corpse is discovered. Clearly, someone at the Dupayne is prepared to kill, and kill again. The case is fraught with danger and complexity from the outset, not least because of the range of possible suspects--and victims. And still more sinister, the murders appear to echo the notorious crimes of th epast featured in one of the museum's most popular galleries, the Murder Room. For Dalgiesh, P.D. James's formidable detective, the search for the murderer poses an unexpected complication. After years of bachelorhood, he has embarked on a promising new relationship with Emma Lavenham--first introduced inDeath in Holy Orders--which is at a critical stage. Yet his struggle to solve the Dupayne murders faces him with a frustrating dilemma: each new development distances him further from commitment to the woman he loves. The Murder Roomis a story dark with the passions that lie at the heart of crime, a masterful work of psychological intricacy. It proves yet again that P.D. James fully deserves her place among the best of modern novelists.
