The Dupayne, a small private museum in London devoted to the interwar years -- 19 Commander Adam Dalgliesh returns to find himself The Murder Room in a terrifying story of passion and mystery -- and in love. The Dupayne, a small private museum in London devoted to the interwar years --is in turmoil. As its trustees argue over whether it should be closed, one of them is brutally and mysteriously murdered. Yet even as Commander Dalgliesh and his team proceed with their investigation, a second corpse is discovered. Someone in the Dupayne is prepared to kill and kill again. Still more sinister, the murders appear to echo the notorious crimes of the past featured in one of the museum's galleries: the Murder Room. The case is fraught with danger and complications from the outset, but for Dalgliesh the complications are unexpectedly profound. His new relationship with Emma Lavenham -- introduced in the last Dalgliesh novel, Death in Holy Orders -- is at a critical stage. Now, as he moves closer and closer to a solution to the puzzle, he finds himself driven further and further from commitment to the woman he loves.

Nice to have the sleuth in a mystery involved in a The Murder Room affair that doesn't set my teeth on edge! View all 4 comments. I struggled to finish this book. It wasn't just that it was not to my taste and I read a lot of crime novels. It certainly is not, as it says on the tin, 'Classic, guaranteed The Murder Room delight all crime addicts. There then follows 8 or 9 chapters devoted to the background of all the potential culprits — straightforward info-dumping on a mighty scale. The narrative ground to a halt while we get background background background. Then the murder occur I struggled to finish this book. Then the murder occurs and the detective trudges us round to each character again asking questions — as formulaic and enlightening as a game of Cluedo. The story repeatedly introduced characters or storylines and then dropped them. The detective hopes a relationship with a woman The Murder Room prosper — then we don't hear of the woman again for pages, and then only briefly. Next, a couple of detectives snipe at each, and then we learn nothing more of their rivalry. A character is introduced in chap and then only appears fleetingly several hundred pages later.

The Dupayne museum on Hampstead Heath with its murder room of murders past. The dysfunctional Dupayne family. Marcus, Caroline and Neville. Odd staff. A gruesome murder and Adam Dalgliesh on the case. The build up to the murder is well done and everyone appears to have a motive for murder. In the end if is all neatly wrapped up. I also liked the four motives for murder are loathing, lucre, lust and love. The sub plot love story was unnecessary. Aug 24, Quirkyreader rated it it was amazing. Yet another impressive chapter in the Dalgliesh series by P. I did see the film years ago but only brief snatches of it played in my head while reading the book. So you know it must not have The Murder Room memorable to me. This one was full of impressive twists and turns. Only two more full Dalgliesh novels for me after this one and the The Murder Room story collections. Jul 15, Rose The Murder Room it Shelves: fiction A reasonable enough mystery, but not top-notch, and with a very contrived feel. What are the chances that an innocent motorist leaving the scene of a copy-cat crime would just happen to say the exact same words that the murderer in the original crime did? The whole book has a similar air The Murder Room unreality. To this list I will now add drinks. What A reasonable enough mystery, but not top-notch, and with a very contrived feel. What people are drinking occupies a lot of the book. We have to know all about why the team is drinking decaff. Anyway, back to the social issues. It does not mention the name of the building! That must surely be a The Murder Room. It gets mentioned several times in the rest of the book. We also get a lot and I mean a lot of time spent describing the posh houses vs. A lot. Guess what? The people on benefits are slobby and dirty. The others are neat and fastidious. And they don't drink Nescafe. Hobby horse 2: University admissions The Murder Room is banged on about time and time again. It was the easiest way to get into Oxbridge. Now, of course, I would just transfer to a deprived inner-city state school and with luck, the government would make Oxbridge take me. It just wasn't implemented very well. It strained the possibilities of coincidence and lacked any sense of The Murder Room. The Murder Room: An Adam Dalgliesh Mystery | Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to The Murder Room.
