The Adam Dalgleish novels are great gothic procedurals. Dalgliesh, the Met Detective and modern poet, often finds himself investigating murders that take place in closed societies. In this novel, he’s gone to visit an old friend, a chaplain at a care home, only to find that he’s recently died in suspicious circumstances, as has one of the patients. Dalgliesh stays on, getting to know the strange inhabitants of the seaside institute as they continue to die at an alarming rate.
