PD James’ 2001 book Death in Holy Orders was adapted for television in 2003 with Martin Shaw playing the role of Adam Dalgliesh.

There is less attention paid to the care experience of Ronald Treves & Kate Miskin in the adaptation than in the novel.

*Spoiler Alert* Raphael Arbutnot (Jesse Spencer) is represented as a ‘troubled’ young man, but he is not a murderer.
