A Taste for Death
DVD - 2003
Scotland Yard's Adam Dalgliesh is called to investigate when a government minister receives threatening letters. The Minister's own household is a challenge. His exquisite wife makes no secret of her adulterous affair with a fashionable surgeon. His only daughter, deeply involved in left-wing politics, has rejected her Conservative father. He is even resented by his own, strong-willed mother, whose favored son was killed in an IRA terrorist ambush. Dalgliesh has barely started on the case when a series of bizarre deaths turn the informal investigation into an urgent assignment.

Add a Commentone word to describe this dvd. Boring.
This was one of the more complete renditions of P.D. James novel set to film, albeit television. The pathos of the characters is gripping and unrelenting. England is a class-conscious society and we should always remember there are oceans between the haves and have-nots. But murder is murder no matter how large the bank account, or the titles bestowed upon those born to position and wealth.
Many good actors are in this production. The ultra slow pace of actions and events let me down.
An very well acted mystery drama, an thoroughly engaging plot line based on PD James' novel.
