Cover Her Face (Adam Dagliesh, #1) by P.D. James. CD

Introducing Adam Dagliesh. This was my first book by this author, but it most definitely won't be my last. This author writes/wrote with the splendor reminiscent of the golden age of mysteries. The depth of her words and the characters brought me into the excitement of this emotional mystery. The narrator/performer John Franklyn-Robbins brought the characters to life.
Sally Jupp was far from being an innocent although she appeared as a lithe childlike often times mischievous sprite of a young woman. So lovely to look at and yet deep hatred lies within her heart and her actions. She was hired at Mattingale straight out of a home for unwed mother's. That didn't sit well with some especially the mistress of Mattingale Mrs. Maxie. Confusion followed by animosity and then murder.
Excellent 5 star book. Highly recommended.
