I am about to finish the Aubrey and Maturin novels by Patrick O'Brian and thought it might be interesting to have a thread on the Dalgleish mysteries by P. D. James. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Dalgliesh I'm thinking about reading the series in order, but anyone who wants to discuss one...

She died recently and I never yet read any of her crime fiction. So today decided to grab one in a Charity shop. Blurb Hmm... doesn't sound like crime fiction. Should I be pleased or worried?!

P.D. James has died at the age of 94 She was most famous for her crime writing, but her 1992 novel "Children of Men" is a significant contribution to the "Dystopian Fiction" sub-genre and was adapted into a well-received film directed by Alfonso Cuarón in 2006.
