A Taste for Death

In this treat for mystery lovers, the quiet Little Vestry of St. Matthew's Church becomes the blood-soaked scene of a double murder, and Scotland Yard Commander Adam Dalgliesh faces an intriguing conundrum.

How did an upper-crust Minister come to lie, slit throat to slit throat, next to a neighborhood derelict of the lowest order? Challenged with the investigation of a crime that appears to have endless motives, Dalgliesh explores the sinister web spun around a half-burnt diary and a violet-eyed widow who is pregnant and full of malice—all the while hoping to fill the gap of logic that joined these two disparate men in bright red death.
