Movie Reviews of P.D. James - Shroud for a Nightingale
Movie Review: P.D James can rock your boat
Summary: 5 Stars
Based on the novel by award-winning author P.D James, this DVD, which is part of the Adam Dalgliesh series, can sure rock your boat. It might not have too much action, it might not have too many CSI shots(nothing against CSI), but it has fascinating dialogues, a lot of hospital intrigues, and quite a bit of suspense. If suspense novel is your thing, you will love this DVD. The humor is more subtle than the Poirot Series. Highly recommended.
Summary of P.D. James - Shroud for a Nightingale
Worried by the sinister political implications of his current murder case. Scotland Yard?s Adam Dalgliesh is off to a teaching hospital for nurses to interview a prime suspect, critically ill arms dealer Martin Dettinger.The hospital, he discovers is a hotbed of blackmail teeming with mysterious motives. At the somber adjoining training wing and nurses? residence, the risk of death seems greater than in any ward. Two young nurses are suddenly poisoned to death ? one of them right before Dalgliesh?s eyes.
Not originally assigned to these cases and against orders from superiors, Dalgliesh takes them on. With trademark cool, the shrewd, incisive detective is soon navigating a labyrinth of intrigues, jealousies and some very dark secrets. Someone is trying to bury the past and is ready, willing and able to kill again to keep it from being resurrected.
