Re: RIP P.D. James
Wow! 94!
I'm usually really terrible at figuring out whodunnit, but I did recognize who the murderer was halfway through in A Taste for Death. She was great. I can't really say I'll miss her. I've read only two of her books and probably wouldn't have read those if a co-worker hadn't given them to me.
