Here are six tales that look at murder from various angles. Whether is from revenge, selfish greed, anger or even apathy, these people commit murder and expect to get away with it. Some do, some don't. But that doesn't help the victim...
Knopf and Edelweiss gave the me the opportunity to read this book for review (thank you). It will be published November 14th.
They are all a fascinating look at morality, character, and desires. No one in these stories is very kind or understanding. P D James saw the world the way it was, there's no sugarcoating here.
The one that got my attention was the tale where Santa Claus got killed. It's a provocative mystery with lots of players. Justice was done but not in a court of law. I like irony in my stories.
If you like P D James, you'll be glad to get this new compilation of some old and some stories. Give it a read.
