The fifth mystery in the acclaimed and best-selling Adam Dalgliesh series by “the reigning mistress of murder” (Time), P.D. James.
Just recovered from a grave illness, Commander Adam Dalgliesh is called to the bedside of an elderly priest. When Dalgliesh arrives, Father Baddeley is dead. Is it merely his own brush with mortality that causes Dalgliesh to sense the shadow of death about to fall once more?

Where does The Black Tower rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
A little above average, but I only download good audiobooks.Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Not really. A good portion of the books was telling you about the characters and laying out various red herrings.Have you listened to any of Penelope Dellaporta’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No.Any additional comments?
Dalgleish sort of stumbles into the solution rather than detecting it. He doesn't have his usual crew of supporters in this tale - he's trying to recover his health and visit an old friend, but of course a murder presents itself and he has to solve it. He ends up in a bit of trouble at the end, but is able to escape.Typical P D James.
