A Taste of Deat
Simply another wonderful book by P.D. James. I am simply in awe of her talent!
A Taste For Death
Not only dreary an disconnected but about twice as long as it should have been. I hung in for the great surprise ending that never came to be. It was below mediocre to the end.
A Taste for Death
Among several great novels, this stands on top... Not just a great mystery, but a truly great novel. Can't recommend this book enough.
