My boss's wife gave this one to me. She enjoys murder mysteries like this one, but I do not. I read it anyway because she asked me to. I wish the author did more to develop the main characters, but it was still a decent read.

Very engaging police procedural by P.D. James. The thing I most enjoyed about this one was the setting (an island off the Cornish coast) and the fact that it was a "locked-room" murder mystery. James has a very easy to read writing style that keeps the pages turning. I also like the fact that even though her books are part of a series, they can still be read as stand-alones by readers (like myself) who pick up a book out of series order.

Good series, good mysteries, good stuff all 'round.
