Devices and Desires

De: P. D. James

Narrado por: Daniel Weyman

An Adam Dalgliesh Mystery When Commander Adam Dalgliesh visits Larksoken, a remote headland community on the Norfolk coast in the shadow of a nuclear power station, he expects to be engaged only in the sad business of tying up his aunt's estate. But the peace of Larksoken is illusory. A serial killer known as the Whistler is terrorising the neighbourhood and Dalgliesh is drawn into the lives of the headlanders when it quickly becomes apparent that the Whistler isn't the only murderer at work under the sinister shadow of the power station.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Her storytelling is as consummate and fiendish as ever." ( Independent on Sunday)

"The characters are vibrant, the writing distinguished, the descriptions of mood and landscape perfect, the ironic ending nicely cynical. And over it all, a haunting Norfolk mist of dread, loneliness and ancient history." ( Sunday Express)

One of her best

One of the very best of a catalogue of outstanding stories...a plot with twists & turns, complex characters whose relations ships change as the story progresses, several cliff- hanger moments & the slow building of tension make this an outstanding story.
Well read by Daniel Wayman.
Having recently listened to Cover her face, The Lighthouse, The Murder Room, The Private Patient & Death in Holy Orders one can chart the development of the author as well as the character of Adam Dalgleish.
Highly recommended as a book or an Audible presentation.
