Just finished P.D. James's The Lighthouse. Murder in an isolated community and AD and the team called in to find the perpetrator as quickly as possible. So more of the same, really, but when the formula is this good why would you want it to change? In fact, I thought this one did it better than Death in Holy Orders, simply at the level of plot. A bit more energy somehow and the idea of bumping off a great writer was in itself entertaining. Mind you, I wasn't convinced for a moment that the egregious Nathan Oliver was somehow on a par with Henry James - that was a bridge too far even for James in good form.
Even in fasting month there's nothing quite like a good murder.
