Title: James has a winner
Review: which from me, says a lot, because my opinions of her books vary greatly. This book happened to follow another favorite of mine, Death in Holy Orders. She's on a roll. After the first 100 pages nobody had been murdered. I didn't care, I was so interested in the characters by then I wanted to see what happened to them. The setting for the murders and the suggestions of them being copycat crimes of killings during the 1920s and 1930s should arouse sufficiently creepy feelings. The later developments as to what is going on behind the scenes at the museum were great. A very stimulating read. What remains to be seen is how Dalgliesh and Emma make it as a couple. This is definitely in the top third of James's books for me.
