The Adam Dalgliesh series, written by the acclaimed Queen of English Crime (Guardian), has become a multi-million-copy bestseller. Renowned author P.D. James took the classic crime novel and elevated it to new heights. Val McDermid, Mick Herron, and the Evening Standard have all praised the series for its rich, delicious, and satisfying storytelling.
Set in the picturesque surroundings of the Thames, The Peverell Press, a two-hundred-year-old independent publisher, is facing financial difficulties. Gerard Etienne, the ruthless new director, has devised a plan to save the company by moving to cheaper offices. However, his dreams are cut short when he is found murdered, his body bizarrely desecrated.
Commander Adam Dalgliesh, known for his keen intellect and unorthodox methods, is called upon to investigate the murder. As he delves deeper into the case, Dalgliesh uncovers a web of treachery and deception. The director had a host of dangerous enemies, including a discarded mistress, a neglected and humiliated author, rebellious colleagues, and disgruntled staff. But did any of them hate Gerard enough to kill him?
The Adam Dalgliesh series is a vintage revenge story that captivates readers with its intricate plot and compelling characters. Adam Dalgliesh is one of the best characters in modern detective fiction, and his investigations are filled with suspense, mystery, and unexpected twists. If you are not already an Adam Dalgliesh fan, I urge you to become one.
The series has received widespread acclaim from readers and critics alike. One 5* reader review describes the books as "books to escape into, delighting in the sense that you are in safe hands, no matter how unsafe the subject." The Observer praised the series for its "crime novel perfection," and Channel 5 has recently adapted it into a major television series, further cementing its place in the literary world.
In conclusion, the Adam Dalgliesh series is a must-read for fans of classic crime fiction and those who seek thrilling and suspenseful stories. With its rich characterization, intricate plot, and atmospheric setting, it has captured the hearts of readers worldwide and continues to be a beloved classic.
