Death in holy orders (2001) by P.D. James

As a devoted P.D. James fan, I was disappointed in this 11th of the Adam Dagleish series.  The characters were underdeveloped and the plot limped along. Kate, Adam's sergeant, had few opportunities to play any role, while Adam, himself, was melancholy and taciturn.  It's my experience that few, if any, Anglican "priests" live the life that the novel presented.
