Movie Reviews of P.D. James - A Taste for Death
Movie Review: Good British Mystery
Summary: 3 Stars
Good Mystery performed by excellent British actors. It gets only 3 stars because of the awful audio. They must have found the original audio equipment used for "The Jazz Singer."
Summary of P.D. James - A Taste for Death
When threatening letters arrive at his fashionable London home, prominent Government Minister Sir Paul Berowne calls his old friend Adam Dalgliesh for assistance.Berowne's own household is a challenge. His exquisite wife makes no secret of her adulterous affair with a fashionable surgeon. His only daughter, deeply involved in left-wing politics, has rejected her Conservative father. He is even resented by his own, strong-willed mother, whose favored son was killed in an IRA terrorist ambush.
Dalgliesh has barely started on the case when a series of bizarre deaths turn the informal investigation into an urgent assignment.
With characteristic determination Scotland Yard's enigmatic star detective pursues every possibility, ruthlessly exposing dark secrets and ugly emotions as the case proceeds toward its terrifying and bloody conclusion.
Stars Roy Marsden, Dame Wendy Hiller, Simon Ward, Fiona Fullerton and Penny Downie
Roy Marsden returns for another of his ever-deepening performances as Inspector Adam Dalgliesh of Scotland Yard, the protagonist hero of a series of much-honored, P.D. James mystery novels. A perfect match of procedural deduction, horrifying but imaginative crimes to solve, and James's familiar embrace of resonant characterization, A Taste for Death finds Dalgliesh investigating twin murders in a London church: one victim a beleaguered, former minister of the Crown and a man of Dalgliesh's favorable acquaintance, the other a homeless man accustomed to finding shelter in the vestibule. Dalgliesh, a perfect and perhaps unique blend of humble compassion and take-no-prisoners probing mind, becomes the thread in a complex tale of multiple motives, seething emotions, unusual suspects, and such puzzling clues as a burnt diary, all in the effort to find an elusive link between two dead men of very different breeding and destinies. --Tom Keogh
