Max Tudor has adapted well to his post as vicar of St. Edwold's in the idyllic village of Nether Monkslip. The quiet village seems the perfect home for Max, who has fled a harrowing past as an MI5 agent. But this new-found serenity is quickly shattered when the highly vocal and unpopular president of the Women's Institute turns up dead at the Harvest Fayre. The death looks like an accident, but Max's training as a former agent kicks in, and before long he suspects foul play.

And I'm not sorry".

In Zanizbar, the family house is Kivulimi, the mysterious "House of Shade", where Dany and the rest of the guests learn that one of them is a desperate killer. The air of freedom and nonchalance that opened the house party fades into growing terror, as the threat of futher violence flowers in the scented air of Zanzibar.

Historia
John Fowles’s The Magus was a literary landmark of the 1960s. Nicholas Urfe goes to a Greek island to teach at a private school and becomes enmeshed in curious happenings at the home of a mysterious Greek recluse, Maurice Conchis. Are these events, involving attractive young English sisters, just psychological games, or an elaborate joke, or more? Reality shifts as the story unfolds. The Magus reflected the issues of the 1960s perfectly, and it continues to create tension and concern today.

And although we usually know the unhealthy fates of both victim and perpetrator, what of those clever few who plan and carry out the perfect crime? The ones who aren't brought down even though they're found out? And what about those who do the finding out who witness a murder or who identify the murderer but keep the information to themselves? These are some of the mysteries that we follow through those six stories.

Headstrong and beautiful, the young housemaid Sally Jupp is put rudely in her place, strangled in her bed behind a bolted door. Coolly brilliant policeman Adam Dalgliesh of Scotland Yard must find her killer among a houseful of suspects, most of whom had very good reason to wish her ill. Cover Her Face is P. D. James' electric debut novel, an ingeniously plotted mystery that immediately placed her among the masters of suspense.

Historia
It is 1803, six years since Elizabeth and Darcy embarked on their life together at Pemberley, Darcy’s magnificent estate. Their peaceful, orderly world seems almost unassailable. Elizabeth has found her footing as the chatelaine of the great house. They have two fine sons, Fitzwilliam and Charles. Elizabeth’s sister Jane and her husband, Bingley, live nearby; her father visits often; there is optimistic talk about the prospects of marriage for Darcy’s sister Georgiana. And preparations are under way for their much-anticipated annual autumn ball.

Four previously uncollected stories from one of the great mystery writers of our time - swift, cunning murder mysteries (two of which feature the young Adam Dalgliesh) that together, to borrow the author's own word, add up to a delightful "entertainment".

Historia
It's not always a question of "whodunit?" Sometimes there's more mystery in the why or how. And although we usually know the unhealthy fates of both victim and perpetrator, what of those clever few who plan and carry out the perfect crime? The ones who aren't brought down even though they're found out? And what about those who do the finding out who witness a murder or who identify the murderer but keep the information to themselves? These are some of the mysteries that we follow through those six stories.

Wonderful listen
I almost want to just exclaim about James’ vocabulary, but that wouldn’t convey the complexity in her writing or the great listening experience, so I’ll sum it up by saying that I’m a therapist who doesn’t enjoy overly simplified characters or story lines and I appreciated this read as one of my favorite vacation reads this summer!!

Some nice tidbits of British history.
Once again Miss Grey funds all the answers, yet doesn't get the glory of success in public.

PD James
Strange ending, more like a Le Carre: Everything dissolves into ambiguity making one wonder why one cared how the novel would end. Interesting, if not all likeable, characters, intriguing plot, excellent writing style ending in a existentialist shrug.

A Principled Principal
Cordelia Gray is a strong character. She firmly believes in truth. She is compassionate, intelligent, and resourceful. Listeners will see these characteristics in this complex, often dark novel. It was hard to stop listening. Kudos to P. D. James.

Disappointed
I've read many P.D. James mystery novels, and really like how the plot and character tangents miraculously sync up by the end, In
this book, the tangents begin sounding like random thoughts. Still, the use of language is superb.

great book with a bad ending
I thoroughly enjoyed it, right up to the ending which I found very unsatisfying and disappointing.

Cordelia is Annoying
As a big PD James fan, I was looking forwad to listening to this story. The narrators voice was screetchy with a weird echo. Cordelia was boring and there was little depth to her. Don't waste a credit on this book. Buy an Adam Danglish story instead
