Death in Holy Orders (2004)
Member Rating:  
This mystery centers around an isolated British town in which a death at a theological college, previously ruled as accidental, is reopened for an extended investigation by Scotland Yard. Commander Dalgliesh, a former student at the college, conducts the necessary research at first simply as a matter of protocol, but he soon finds more mysterious and distressing revelations at every turn. Dalgliesh believes that the college and its visitors are in imminent danger, but by the time he is able to warn them, it may be too late. ~ Cammila Albertson, Rovi

Death in Holy Orders was one of my favorite PD James' books. This is true to the book. Adam Dalgliesh appears older than I had imagined but his personality characteristics are played very true to the novel.

This film was the first I've seen with a different actor portraying Commander Dalgleish, which was a little disconcerting at first but Martin Shaw's an excellent actor and the story is one of P. D. James' best. The production values of this entire series are outstanding.

Bill D.

A typically slow moving subtle P. D. James tale in which hundreds of disperate threads are woven together until the final picture/villian is revealed. These tales will require concentration, and like a an Agatha Christie "who dun'it" the answer is right there, if you can see it!

I really liked the movie but I was not able to watch the end as no matter what I did, the dvd would not play the end even trying it on three different dvd players. Very frustrating
