Confession of the Fifth Deceased
About This Novel
A masterpiece by P. D. James, the master of contemporary mystery novels. P. D. James is one of the few mystery novel writers to win both the "Diamond Dagger" of the British Mystery Writers Association and the "Master Award" of the Writers Association of America. Everyone has been swayed by desire, and only a few people have found themselves in desire. In a church outside London, former MP Paul Boloni was brutally murdered with his throat cut, but there were no signs of a fight at the scene. This death case, which cannot be classified as suicide, is even more unusual because of the many incidents that occurred during the deceased's lifetime. As the investigation deepens, the Chief Superintendent discovers that behind the Baron, there is a secret of a big family that is bright on the surface but actually broken: relatives who compete for fame and fortune, servants with ulterior motives, and indifferent people around them...

Not bad. . . But a little sloppy. . .
Come on, come on, come on
This novel is heavier than the previously read Murderous Hearts, Murder at the Nursing College, and A Job Not Suitable for Women. Unlike other detective novels, P. D. James will not finally present the murderer to the readers. His psychological description of the characters is very delicate...
Feeling good
Very well written

I'm a little worried about whether I can finish it.
The title of the book is incompatible with the warm maternal love!
Is the author a mother?
