P.D. James first novel and is the first one I have read. A cracking good mystery with a few clues and a myriad of red herrings. Sally Jupp was a very sneaky and unlikeable woman who liked to play games with peoples minds. Bolted doors, drugged drinks, ladders and a list of suspects that all hated her. The family she was the maid, foster parents and a jealous woman as well as Martha the cook.

This is a short book but capable of taking hold. I enjoyed this very much; a compelling mystery with interesting characters. I love a country manor murder mystery at the best of times but this was particularly good.
