__________________________________________________________________________________
Venetia was much concerned with murder, but she could hardly have expected to become so intimately involved.
Distinguished barrister Venetia Aldridge QCs defence of Garry Ashe, accused of the brutal murder of his aunt, is one more opportunity to triumph in her distinguished career as a criminal lawyer. But four weeks and four days after the trial, she is murdered at her desk.
Commander Adam Dalgliesh and his team find plenty of motive for murder among the clients Venetia has defended, her envious professional colleagues, her wayward daughter, and the lover she has tried to keep secret. But just as Dalgliesh begins to narrow down the field of suspects, a second brutal murder sends the case in a totally new direction . . .

READERS LOVE THE ADAM DALGLEISH SERIES:
Adam Dalgleish is one of the best characters in modern detective fiction. 5* reader review
If you are not already an Adam Dalgliesh fan, I urge you to become one . . . James can describe a scene or delineate a character with precision and depth, like no other writer I have read . . . I usually stay up all night to read a P. D. James novel once I start one.5* reader review
I would never give less than 5 stars to any P. D. James book. She is one of a kind, always constant, always wonderful writing, always great characters, and always a good mystery that you cannot put down. 5* reader review
P.D. James writes mysteries for ordinary people. Her characters are relatable and her hero is dynamic. But dont expect cell phones or computers. Her stories are strictly old school, which is what I love about them.5* reader review
Crime writing at its very best! 5* reader review
