|
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’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.

What Customers Say About The Lighthouse (Adam Dalgliesh Mystery Series #13):

NOT THE BEST EVER, BUT WORTH THE TIME AND MONEY. I LIKE P.D. JAMES AND I LIKED THIS STORY.
So I am quite confident I will also love this one. I have not read this one yet, but I have never read a P.D. James/Adam Dagliesh that I did not thoroughly enjoy.
However, it does not in any way diminish my enjoyment of the individual novels. The characters are well drawn and it is easy to picture some of the tensions between the individuals because of the complexity of their shared history.I am reading the Adam Dalgliesh mysteries out of order. This is a shame because it means that I have not yet acquired a complete picture of Adam Dalgliesh. In this novel, Adam Dalgliesh is called in to solve the murder of a distinguished visitor on the privately owned Combe Island, which is situated off the coast of Cornwall. I recommend these novels to all readers who enjoy well written mysteries.Jennifer Cameron-Smith The team has barely begun to unravel these complicated motives when a second murder occurs. Dalgliesh and his team, Kate Miskin and Francis Benton-Smith have some individual concerns of their own which add to the challenges posed by the murder.It quickly becomes clear that a number of residents on the island dislike the murdered man and a number of them could be considered to have motives for murder. I found this novel very enjoyable, and it took me a little while to work through all of the red herrings to ascertain who the murderer really was.
The book was in the condition described and I am very pleased with this purchase. I received the book in great condition and in a very timely manner.
James, a Scotland Yard investigation with famous Adam Dalgliesh, she makes you want to read the book just in one sitting. Great book, just like every single one written by P.D.
