Once again, a beautiful piece of writing; James is the poet of mystery, and therefore a delight to read. Perhaps, at times, she is inclined to over-detailed passages, but I marvel that she uses so many often neglected words of the very rich English language. She kept me on the hook until the end and, sadly, to the last of Commander Dalgliesh.
