P.D. James earned the moniker 'Queen of Crime' for twisty mysteries just like this one which features her ace sleuth Adam Dalgliesh. The Scotland Yard commander leaves his post to go on holiday. He arrives on the East English seashore intent on little more than rest and recreation. His planned vacation though is disrupted by several nasty occurrences -- suicide blackmail and murder.
