Death In Holy Orders by P.D. James
4.0
With surgical precision PD James weaves a murderous tale in the shadows of a small seminary school. The plot is as good as any police procedural and the writing matches up to most fine literature. As the body count grows, the sea is flooded with demented red herrings, but unlike much contemporary fiction James closes her story with well-planned scenes and satisfying splashes of panache.
This is a must read novel/series for fans of the genre and should be considered by a wider reading audience. Death In Holy Orders is proof of that literary crime fiction can be more exhilarating than the popcorn novels available in airport bookshops. Long live the queen.
