I had forgotten how cerebral poet & Scotland Yard‘s finest,Adam Dalgleish,approaches his murder investigations.Initially the pace of the book is slow, with more thought and talk than action.
A brilliant but despicable forensic scientist is murdered in his own lab.There are almost too many possible murderers to count,so Dalgleish has to sift through them one at a time.The climax,and the “whodunit”it took me left me totally astonished!
