Adam is in Norfolk, dealing with the estate of his late Aunt, whilst there, he gets caught up in the local events, where a Serial Killer known as The Whistler is preying on young women.
It's definitely an engaging story, it's quite different for PD James, I don't recall reading any of her books before where a Serial Killer is at large, The character of The Whistler is actually pretty terrifying.
The first few episodes are the best, they are chilling, they're sinister, and they really do grab your attention, we get horror, suicide, intrigue, and some real mystery. If I'm honest, I think it dips at around episode four, and some of the focus moved away from what made the first trio of episodes so exciting.
It's every well acted, Marsden as always is terrific, Gemma Jones and Susannah York also impress, look out for an interesting role from Robert Laing.
I preferred some of the earlier stories featuring Adam Dalgliesh, but Devices and Desires is another very strong offering. 7/10.
