Customer Review - The Lighthouse

The Lighthouse
by P.D. James

Isolated cabin. Desolate scenery. Good people in hard situations. All this combines to make "The Lighthouse" by celebrated author PD James a mystery to pick up for those long cold nights in front of the fireplace. The story takes us to the isolated English island of Combe and a murder which Richard Jury -- poet and police commander -- must solve. Alas, the selection of possibile killers is interesting, but never really explored. What James is really good at is putting you in the scene and this book made me long to spend some time in Combe. It's a real page-turner if you don't examine the structure too closely. -- recommended by Barbara R. - customer of the Gere Branch Library
