PD James

Just finished reading a PD James novel and find her policeman poet  Adam Dalgliesh quite charismatic and intriguing.Everything in her book is so accurate, I think I´ll be grabbing a few more.Here´s a very good interview I strongly recommend, (good for writers in particular), in The Guardian. 
Here´s the beginning:
As a crime writer, surprise is PD James's forte. Her ability to keep readers guessing has not failed her in half a century. And it is characteristic that, towards the end of her writing life, she should elect to spring a new surprise on us. It would have been pardonable – admirable indeed – to have published another novel starring policeman poet Adam Dalgliesh. But  Death Comes to Pemberley  (now out in paperback) is a plucky new adventure, a sequel to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice that doubles as a murder novel.PD James has been an Austen devotee all her life. She can hear Austen's voice with her inner ear, become her echo on the page. Death Comes to Pemberley is a masterly pastiche. It is more streamlined than her other fiction, involving only one murder and one suspect, but it fills us in on Elizabeth and Darcy and their marriage and satisfies that curiosity one has as the reader of a classic romance: did they live happily everafter?......................................That magnificent narrative grip, the Victorian and the visceral together......
