A review by jenn756
Death in Holy Orders by P.D. James

3.0

I have to admit, I agree with those people who were shocked that P D James was so dismissive of child abuse, or rather sympathetic to the plight of a convicted abuser - one of the characters in the book. She implies they made a big fuss about nothing and what does it matter if a few children get touched up. It does demonstrate a fundamental lack of understanding, I can only presume she was elderly when she wrote it and somehow missed the education the rest of us received.
Apart from that its a good story - closed community, wild remote coastline, lots of hidden secrets, interesting cast of characters.
