P.D James
~ A Mind To Murder
The late great UK writer shows up in my thrift store basket for $0.50 so here we go, gotta give it a try.
You see, I'm not really a mystery reader, although I do enjoy the mystery detective shows, most commonly viewed on our local PBS or Knowledge network channels. Oh, and NetFlix.

So, it's an Adam Dalgliesh Detective mystery, he of this and many others books.
I found it very well written, the plot was very intricately laid out, I obviously couldn't follow it, but enjoyed her writing, language and the characterizations.
I've another to read so will get to that one sometime soon!
