It did one of my least favorite mystery things: having the bad guy die in some accidental or self-inflicted manner so that the detective character will have less mess to deal with.

    <body><![CDATA[I bought this book at JFK and finished it by the time I arrived in SF, following a sleepless night--this ought to give an indication of PD James' utter readability.  The mystery itself was not quite to my taste, a little too centered on the traditional megalomaniac ambitions of a powerful man.

    <body><![CDATA[Great story-- it stands on its own as a novel, not just as a mystery. The mystery itself has a few flaws-- clues requiring unusual suspension of disbelief, amazing coincidences, and a couple of suspiciously convenient deaths.
