James, P. D. Faber & Faber FF|FFD|FFJ|FFP Paperback 2024

Classic P. D. James: rich, delicious and satisfying.
Evening Standard

An elegantly written, splendidly atmospheric and immensely satisfying mystery.
Sunday Telegraph

Outstanding . . . A book to escape into, delighting in the sense that you are in safe hands, no matter how unsafe the subject.
Observer

A complex, compelling novel . . . Wide, deep, magisterial, like the Thames that so atmospherically fills its pages . . . James, a novelist of broad gifts and great skill, here is writing in full mastery of her craft . . . the grande dame of fictional forensic pathology.
New York Times

Each of the complex, finely drawn characters has an excellent motive for murder, and as death extends its tentacles through the marble building, no one connected with the Peverell press seems remotely safe or innocent.
The Times

Puts the work of most of her rivals to shame.
