The murder room : an Adam Dalgliesh mystery

The Dupayne, a small private museum on the edge of London's Hampstead Heath devoted to the interwar years 1919-39, is in turmoil. The trustees--the three children of the museum founder, old Max Dupayne--are bitterly at odds over whether it should be closed. Then one of them is brutally murdered, and what seemed to be no more than a family dispute erupts into horror. For even as Commander Adam Dalgliesh and his team investigate the first killing, a second corpse is discovered. Clearly, someone at the Dupayne is prepared to kill, and kill again. The case is fraught with danger and complexity from the outset, not least because of the range of possible suspects--and victims. And still more sinister, the murders appear to echo the notorious crimes of the past featured in one of the museum's most popular galleries, the Murder Room. For Dalgliesh, P.D. James's formidable detective, the search for the murderer poses an unexpected complication. After years of bachelorhood, he has embarked on a promising new relationship with Emma Lavenham--first introduced in Death in Holy Orders--which is at a critical stage. Yet his struggle to solve the Dupayne murders faces him with a frustrating dilemma: each new development distances him further from commitment to the woman he loves. The Murder Room is a story dark with the passions that lie at the heart of crime, a masterful work of psychological intricacy.

  • ">Von Britanniens regierender Queen of Crime: ein Krimi der alten Schule, so schaurig wie schön.< Der Spiegel Ein kleines Privatmuseum im vornehmen Londoner Stadtteil Hampstead wird Schauplatz grausamer Verbrechen. Sie scheinen im Zusammenhang mit Bluttaten aus der Vergangenheit zu stehen, die im berühmten >Saal der Mörder< des Museums dokumentiert werden: Einer der uneinigen Erben des Museumsgründers wird verbrannt aus seinem Jaguar geborgen, die Leiche einer Frau in einem Koffer entdeckt, nachdem ihr Handy klingelte, und schließlich streckt der unbekannte Täter seine Hand auch nach Tally Clutton aus, der liebenswerten, resoluten alten Dame, die als guter Geist des Hauses in einem Cottage hinter dem Museum wohnt. Die Grand Old Lady des Kriminalromans brilliert einmal mehr mit der Darstellung der verschiedensten Charaktere und Milieus, wenn sie Commander Dalgliesh von Scotland Yard und sein Team den Kreis der Verdächtigen durchforschen lässt."
