Product Description

Maurice Seton was a famous mystery writer -- but no murder from his imagination could equal the ghastliness of his own death. When his grotesquely mutilated corpse is found in a drifting dinghy, ripples of horror spread among his bizarre neighbours: the cruel and cynical drama critic, the celebrated recluse, the rakish young heir, the terrified woman waiting for her killer in a lonely house... It is up to Superintendent Adam Dalgliesh and his extraordinary aunt to discover the shocking truth about Seton's past -- before the plot takes another murderous turn. --Ce texte provient de la Unbound édition.

3.0étoiles sur 5 NOT ONE OF HER BEST, Nov. 20 2001
Par MOVIE MAVEN (New York, NY USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
To my mind, any book of P.D. James is worth reading, but UNNATURAL CAUSES is simply not one of her best. Yes, the plot is fascinating, if a bit dependent on twists and turns that mean very little, indeed, to the solution of the murders.

Most interesting, as usual with James, is her development of complex characters. Unfortunately, as another reviewer pointed out, almost every one of these characters is, at best, unpleasant and since they are all writers or are connected with professional writers in some way, it seems James has a bit of a chip on her shoulder about her colleagues.

The last 20 pages contain a transcription of a taped confession which ties up all the loose plot knots, but does not, at all, let us in on the effects this confession has on any of the characters except for James' detective, Adam Dalgliesh. This is truly disappointing, especially for a writer who so carefully peoples her novels.

A small note: I do not consider myself a prude and perhaps it is mere political correctness on my part, but I found James' characters' negative comments about homosexuals and one physically challenged character to be in poor taste.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Dagliesh "vacations" in Suffolk in a writers colony, Mai 29 2001
Par Carol Peterson Hennekens (Colorado Springs, CO United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
In this, the fourth Dagliesh book, Adam goes to Suffolk to take a little R&R with his eccentric aunt Jane. Jane lives in a remote coastal area where here neighbors include a couple of "pulp" fiction writers, a critic and some other unusual folks. Of course, a corpse turns up.

The first two-thirds of the book are solid, if unexceptional. It's interesting to watch Dagliesh walk the tightrope of investigating a death that isn't his job - and for once to have the official police investigators portrayed as reasonably competent folks. And while other reviews were let down by the ending, I found the final third to be page turning stuff. (Of course, being in the middle of a major thunder storm helped :)) I found the plotting to be nicely complex and the solution to be that nice mix - a surprise but one that made sense when all of the reasons were laid on the table.

For new readers this book has fewer references to Dagliesh's friends and on-going life than some of the others. I.e. - you won't be frustrated landing in the middle of ongoing plots, but you also aren't getting a full picture of his life that evolves with the reading of the series in order.
