P.D. James is “the greatest living mystery writer.”–People

Adopted as a child into a privileged family, Philippa Palfrey fantasizes that she is the daughter of an aristocrat and a parlor maid. The terrifying truth about her parents and a long-ago murder is only the first in a series of shocking betrayals. Philippa quickly learns that those who delve into the secrets of the past must be on guard when long-buried horrors begin to stir.

“As a crime novel,” wrote the London Times, Innocent Bloodis “the peak of the art.” “Flawlessly crafted . . . profoundly, masterfully moving,” Cosmopolitan concurred. Thriller & Suspense Mystery Suspense Fiction Women Sleuths Detective Exciting Women's Fiction

Excellent story. Drawn to it over issue of adoption. Hoping for another AD story but this was quite a story. Well developed. The last parts were so sad for everyone but I think a well developed story of the human condition and the young. Well done.

Excellent and sad

As expected I was left with a sense of completeness. No unanswered questions, every dark shadow oh humanness she stumbles upon she eventually casts a beam of revealing light. Wow, I thought I found one of her stories that I actually may not enjoy but I must say she keeps me coming back for more. P D James has earned the title of greatest mystery, suspense, fiction and romance novelist all wrapped into one. I give you four stars all around simply because I hope you will continue to outdo the last book of yours I read. Five stars will leave me with no need to search for your next book. Keep them coming,I will buy them.

Hail Mrs. James!! She never lets her readers down.

I've listened to the whole Dalglish series (which I enjoy), as well as some other P.D. James books, and this is not my favorite. If a few things had been changed about the plot, I think it could have been a much more compelling story, with more relatable characters. Also (I don't want to leave any spoilers) but there are elements near the end that are downright disturbing.

Almost good

I like the mysteries so much better. Sad and depressing. Those interested in psychology should love it, for it includes so many damaged people.

Not a Dalgleish
