Thanks for the comment about Greeley's "Irish" series. I'm still trying to decide whether or not to try one more. You're right, he can be such a beautiful writer it's frustrating when he seems to lose his way.

P.D. James, however, knows exactly what she's writing and sticks to it faithfully and well. I love the character of Adam Dalgleish. The Lighthouse had a terrific plot in a great setting and it's nice that Dalgleish may be allowed a happy ending, or at least happy interlude, in his personal life.
