  <default_description>A secure and secluded retreat for the rich and powerful becomes the setting for an unsettling series of murders.

Combe Island off the Cornish coast is a restful haven for the elite. But when one of its distinguished visitors is found hanging from the island&amp;#8217;s famous lighthouse in what appears to have been a murder, the peace is shattered. Commander Adam Dalgliesh is called in to handle the sensitive case, but at a difficult time for him and his depleted team. He is uncertain about his future with his girlfriend Emma Lavenham; his principle detective Kate Miskin is going through an emotional crisis; and the ambitious Sergeant Francis Benton-Smith is not happy about having a female boss. After a second brutal killing, the whole investigation is jeopardized, and Dalgliesh is faced with a danger even more insidious than murder.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[P.D. James is one of my favorite mystery writers. I enjoy her detective Adam Dagleish.  The plot involves a the murder of a famous novelist on an isolated island. The population of the island is limited to people, usually famous, who have made a contribution to the greater good of society. It is des...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38737473">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[P.D. James has written another superb Adam Dalgliesh detective novel. This one is set on a small island off the coast of Cornwall that caters to the rich and famous, and provides them the kind of security that prevents them from being overwhelmed by the public. Alas, it doesn't prevent two murders f...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72616725">more...</a>]]></body>

The premise is fun: A private island off the English coast where the ultrapowerful secretly go to escape life in the public's eye.

    <body><![CDATA[I had spent years reading Devices and Desires, which was very good, I had always just picked it up at the wrong time.  So, I did give &quot;Baroness&quot; James another go.

    <body><![CDATA[I haven't read many books by PD James (sacrilege for a mystery lover, I know).  A friend recommended this one, and in spite of the fact that it is part of a series that has to be fairly extensive by now, I needed something to read so I picked it up.  I enjoyed it a lot - the characters have depth, t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75580721">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[PD James if you don't know her is one of the best mystery writers around. You are probably familiar with younger, American, female and male mystery/detective writers, but Ms James can give them all a run for their money (for lack of a better description).

    <body><![CDATA[To my recollection, this is the first PD James novel I've read.  I loved the setting, enjoyed the characters, but found the mystery to be not-very-mysterious.   I was intrigued by the fact that the book jacket billed the plot as a murder-mystery, yet 25% of the way through...no one was dead.  It too...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/52288721">more...</a>]]></body>
