## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Well worth the read !
  

*by M***C on Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2022*

What a great cast of characters confront Dalgliesch as he knows what he doesn't know. This was a long journey for the truth as he struggles to make sense of  the deaths of people who seemingly weren't quite ready to die. Murder or not murder? That is the question! Please read if you love a complicated plot of a good mystery and a great detective!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Guess Who
  

*by F***K on Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2017*

Found this P.D. James book that I hadn't read.  Evidently written earlier in her career.  Of course well written but I get tired of her lengthy definitions of her characters.  By the time she gets through I feel like I know every dimple on their face and the color of eyelashes versus hair, etc. etc.  Nevertheless this good story of a group of mostly physically impaired people living together in a kind of retirement community where murder suddenly runs rampant holds your interest.  I always enjoy her settings somewhere along the English coast.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    The Black Tower does not disappoint!
  

*by J***U on Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2017*

I seldom decipher the clues that point to the "bad guys" that PD James drops. This time, I was suspicious - and correct - as it turns out, but for all the wrong reasons. Somehow, James always works it out. Strangely, her conclusions often seem contrived, not supported by the evidence although her books are usually characterized as police procedurals.  "Thriller" may be a better descriptive. Whatever, I have not been disappointed in this book because the novel is firmly set in the enchanted land that is England and the characters meticulously drawn.  I would recommend The Black Tower to anyone who loves PD James, mystery, careful plots, or  surprising denouement...I might even read it again, something I seldom do.
