These are short (tho not too short) mysteries with Adam Dalglesh as a younger officer but still with his charm and clever thinking. Both Jenny Agutter (who will always be a Railway Child to me) and Daniel Weyman narrate so beautifully that I hate it when it ends. Very enjoyable and cracking good mysteries.

Who was your favorite character and why?
Although Adam Dalglish is a favourite, I really took to the war widow in the first story.Which scene did you most enjoy?
When the then Sargent Adam Dalglish sums up the 12 Clues of Christmas.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, but being short stories I was able to break it up into 4 sittings.Any additional comments?
I thought 'A very commonplace murder' let the collection down a little otherwise it would have been 5 stars all round, I hope there are more of these in the archives!4 Excellent Short Crime Stories from P.D James
