Author: PD James

I’ve been clearing off bookshelves in anticipation of the basement restoration. I’m not sure how long I’ve had this one but it was time to get it read and set aside either for our own book sale (which we couldn’t do this summer) or as a donation.

I normally love a P.D. James book and her characters. Dalgliesh is back but his side-kicks weren’t ones I had come across in other readings so I didn’t feel any kinship with them. I thought it was interesting that in the latest Cleese’s book I was reading how the love interest was murdered and in this book I was reading about Dalgliesh in the weeks before his marriage. I know Emma, Dalgliesh’s wife, is murdered in a book that comes later in the series.
