We lost a treasure when P.D. James died. Reading her is truly an effortless pleasure. These short stories are wonderful, as is all of her work.

I'm not a fan of short stories but I did enjoy this book by P.D. James. I've only read Death Comes to Pemberley by her in the past but I do look forward to reading some of her other books. The short stories were quick and easy to read and quite entertaining. They were sort of like cozies but were masterly done as the characters were interesting and the murderer was not too easy to figure out. I mostly enjoyed the surprise endings which was not expected. It you have not read her before, you should read this book as a sample of her writing. I'm sure you would enjoy it as much as I did!
