Title: A Disappointment
Review: I am a fan of P.D. James' previous mysteries, but the Lighthouse is a disappointment. The new characters don't engage the reader and the whole idea of a murder in an inaccessible location has been done better by others. The sub-plot of making Dagliesh ill is handled clumsily (could Ms. James have spared us the melodrama and just given him the flu instead of a trendy disease?), the 'reveal' of the murder is a letdown and the arrest of the murderer seemed to be written for a Hollywood production (Vaseline???)Stubenville, Metro Philadelphia, PA
Is the review positive or negative?
