"There are very few thriller writers who can compete with P. D. James at her best … One of the things that sets P. D. James apart from other writers in this genre is the intellectual assurance of her work. This is manifest in her use of language – she writes beautifully – but also in the light touch with which she displays her learning … DEATH IN HOLY ORDERS is pure pleasure." –Charlotte Joll, The Spectator
"DEATH IN HOLY ORDERS is a page-turner … but it is also so well-written that you linger over James’s beautifully-observed descriptions of characters or scenes … More, please, P. D. James." –Rosita Boland, The Irish Times
"James transcends the crime genre, in that hers are fully evolved novels and not just murder mysteries. They are packed with argument and insight and detail." –Victoria Glendinning, The Daily Telegraph
"This is a thoroughly satisfactory, gripping and exceptionally well-written novel." –Anne Chisholm, The Sunday Telegraph
"James is a natural storyteller when it comes to pace and atmosphere." –Sarah Dunant, The Times
"Adam Dalgliesh’s latest outing possesses the confident interplay of classical discipline, contemporary morality and strong evocation of place that had hitherto distinguished James’s novels. Writing for the most part within the conventions of the detective story, she has again proved its constraints to be a liberating force for the creative imagination, drawing on accepted generic elements to produce a thoughtful, beautifully-written book which is far more complex than the sum of its parts." –Nicola Upson, The Observer
"This is a grand, gothic novel of gut-wrenching suspense, satisfying at all levels. (…) Here is a novel which goes beyond mere enjoyment." –Frances Fyfield, The Sunday Express
