P.D. James, The Murder Room
Apr 20, 2010 Main Library
Commander Adam Dalgliesh is already acquainted with the Dupayne—a museum dedicated to the interwar years, with a room celebrating the most notorious murders of that time—when he is called to investigate the killing of one of the family trustees. It seems the victim was seeking to close the museum against the wishes of fellow trustees and the museum's devoted staff. The recipient of many prizes and honors, the author was created Baroness James of Holland Park in 1991.
