It felt like it took forever for this story to take off. Hard to believe it was set in the late 70's. It seemed more like it could have been 1952. So disappointed that this was my last PD James mystery read.

Second P.D. James mystery set on an island where someone is murdered by one of a finite number of known people on the island at the time.
