This death begins to reveal everyone's buried secrets. Students, staff, visitors, everyone is hiding something, and everyone seems to be suspicious... An isolated seminary, four consecutive deaths, and seven pasts burdened with sin. Who broke the tranquility and started killing people here?

I really like this novel by P. D. James. This is the fifth one I have read. Dalgliesh actually has someone he cares about, which is an unexpected surprise! Saint Anselm's seminary is both secluded and desirable...
Haven't watched it yet. . .
