About this deal

Despite a later start she leaves an impressive body of work comprising nineteen brilliant and original novels, and three works of non-fiction, all of which continue to be read throughout the world. There's also the custom of placing quotation marks around thoughts, so very often I'd be thinking - what? And at the heart of the mystery, the clue that would make all plain, lay the complex personality of Sally Jupp. What she also captures so well, in my opinion, is the way that society was changing in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s.

This first disappointment will not stop me with continuing the series and I'm more hopeful of the rest.Sally Jupp is a very attractive, unwed mother who has been taken on as a maid in the Maxie household.

A very good book without inscriptions with one light staining to the front board, with some wear to the corners appears – unread.She received honorary degrees from seven British universities, was awarded an OBE in 1983 and created a life peer in 1991. Then, just before Dalgleish (like Poirot) is going to have a sit-down with all the suspects and point out the killer, Simon takes a turn for the worse. With lots of interviews, most of which makes everyone nervous and suspicious, and a bit of tidy detective work involving fingerprints, bolted doors, outer doors and who locked them up and when, a ladder, a young boy, the local vicar (naturally!

Cover Her Face was adapted for television in 1985, starring Roy Marsden, Phyllis Calvert and Mel Martin.I shall remain grateful to PD James for the enjoyment her books once gave me, but sometimes it’s best to leave the past undisturbed. When we awarded Phyllis the outstanding contribution award at the Theakstons Harrogate crime-writing festival, I was responsible for escorting her to the signing table afterwards. This had been a habit since his first big case seven years ago when he had looked down at the battered corpse of a Soho prostitute in silent resolution and had thought, “This is it. When the body of Sally Jupp is discovered in her bedroom - the door bolted from the inside - the occupants of Martingale House are sure that the blame for this unthinkable crime will fall on an unknown intruder. From 1949 to 1968 she worked in the National Health Service and subsequently in the Home Office, first in the Police Department and later in the Criminal Policy Department.
