Review # 1 was written on 2020-06-20 00:00:00 Douglas Christy Published in 1967, this is the third Adam Dalgliesh mystery; following on from "Cover Her Face" and "A Mind to Murder." Dalgliesh is still involved with Deborah Riscoe, who appeared in the first novel, and is considering whether or not to propose to her. Does he love her enough to change his life and perhaps put his work second? While considering this change, he goes to stay with his aunt, Jane Dalgliesh. An avid bird watcher, she lives in a small community near Monksmere bird reserve, which seems to be populated (apart from her) mostly by writers - either authors or critics. These include Maurice Seton, a detective novelist, Sylvia Kedge, his crippled secretary, his half brother Digby Seton, critic Oliver Latham, Justin Bryce, R.B. Sinclair, the reclusive 'great novelist' and romance writer Celia Calthrop and her niece, Elizabeth. The book unfolds with the discovery of Maurice Seton; found floating in a small dingy, minus his hands. This macabre death throws the small group of writers into recriminations, suspicion and fear. Although the wonderfully named D I Inspector Reckless is in charge, Dalgliesh finds himself dragged into the investigation. This will take him from the idyllic countryside of Monksmere to Soho nightclubs, as he attempts to discover who was responsible for Seton's disappearance and bizarre death. Although this novel is set amongst a group of authors, which should appeal to me, I found this less enjoyable - or perhaps less believable - than the previous book. Of course, being P D James I still loved the plot and characters, but it just seemed a little too staged. I am, though, enjoying re-reading the series very much and enjoyed learning a little more about the taciturn Dalgliesh.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-11-02 00:00:00 Rachel Schecter Unnatural Causes (Adam Dalgliesh #3), P.D. James (Phyllis Dorothy James, Baroness James of Holland Park) Unnatural Causes (1967) is a detective novel by English crime writer P. D. James. While staying with his Aunt Jane in Suffolk, Adam Dalgliesh stumbles across a most bizarre and frightening murder. A local detective novelist, Maurice Seton, becomes himself the subject of investigation when his boat washes ashore with his body inside, with both his hands cut off, seemingly with a meat cleaver. Strangely, the scene of his death is mirrored in a manuscript for the new thriller he was writing... تاریخ نخستین خوانش: سال 2000 میلادی عنوان: انگیزه‌ های غیرطبیعی؛ نویسنده: پی.دی. جیمز؛ مترجم: خسرو مهربان سمیعی؛ تهران، طرح نو، 1378؛ در 245 ص؛ فروست: کتابهای سیاه؛ شابک: ایکس - 964562567؛ چاپ دوم 1389؛ شابک: 9789645625670؛ موضوع: آدام دالگلیش؛ داستانهای پلیسی از نویسندگان انگلیسی - قرن 20 م پی.دی. جیمز متولد 1920 میلادی ملکه جدید جنایت، از نویسندگان صاحب سبک جدید رمان های پلیسی محسوب میشود. او پنهانی ترین اندیشه های انسان را بیان میکند، هنر شخصیت پردازی قابل اعتنا با طنزی ظریف، روزنامه ی تایم او را بزرگترین نویسنده ی رمان پلیسی امروز جهان میداند. دالگلایش کارآگاه شاعر مسلک در این رمان نقشی دشوار و پر خطر به عهده دارد. ا. شربیانی
