Format:Taschenbuch
This is my absolute favorite of the Dalgliesh novels. The balance between exploring characters and expounding plot is just about perfect. The reader really feels for Dalgliesh as he struggles to decide about marrying Deborah Riscoe, and the murder than intrudes on his vacation is both horrible and intruiging. Finally, as an added bonus, in this book we at last get to read a bit of Dalgliesh's poetry: ten beautifully intricate lines addressed to Deborah. If you like and are interested in the character of Dalgliesh, you must own this book, because you will want to read it again and again.

Unnatural Causes is early Adam Dalgleish. He's still coping with his reluctance to become emotionally intimate and uses a holiday to visit his Aunt Jane as an opportunity to think things over. Will he ask Deborah Riscoe to marry him . . . or not?
Naturally, as soon as he arrives there's a mysterious disappearance followed by all kinds of bizarre events. When the mystery turns into apparent crime, Dalgleish becomes concerned for his aunt who doesn't have an alibi. A.D. is also on the outside looking in as the local CID led by Inspector Reckless seems to resent Dalgleish's presence.
The whole circumstance is made more bizarre by the presence of many literary types in what increasingly seems to be a literary mystery written about in a mystery. There's a fascinating story within the story element that gets the book off to a strong start.
But as Dalgleish unravels the ultimate mystery, the book also comes unraveled. You get a lengthy explanation, but the end doesn't move swimmingly along like the beginning and middle do.
Perhaps Baroness James painted herself into a corner by producing such an imaginative mystery and couldn't bear to part with it when she couldn't think up a nice ending to match.
But I still recommend the book because of the strong beginning and middle. You can skip the end after the storm if you want. You'll probably like the book better if you do.

Although the (logical) resolution to the Deborah subplot from the previous three books is quite welcome, the rest of this book is pretty substandard. The method of murder is ridiculously elaborate, and the murderer's ten-page confession is incredibly unbelievable. But Jane Dagliesh was a wonderful character, and deserved to be brought back in the later part of the series.

P. D. James is the best.
More than James' other novels, this one gives us a genuine feel for the way an environment can effect us all (or is there something within us that makes us choose a particular... Lesen Sie weiter...

Unworthy of P.D. James
Okay, we should give Lady James a little credit, since this was one of her early ventures into crime. But frankly, UNNATURAL CAUSES is one of her worst books. Lesen Sie weiter...
