A refreshing twist on a classic romance in the form of a cozy, regency mystery perfect for a stormy autumn night.
P.D. James is a master at lyrically describing feeling, characters and settings without losing the momentum and intrigue of a well-crafted crime novel.
I am especially grateful that we were actually given the pieces of the puzzle to figure out part of the mystery, and then we were given detailed accounta from the characters about the truth of the facts.
I feel like a warning sign might be useful to those who might be extremely sensitive about character treatment. I’m not as protective of this cast as I’d imagined, but beware you might actually get a bit pouty about your favourites being shown in a completely different light.
Will definitely have to read more of P.D. James’ detective novels!
