"The ghost of literature past haunts P.D. James' newest novel. . . .

"James is a wonderful writer." -Chicago Sun-Times
"James is in excellent form. . . . [She] offers her readers intelligence, wisdom, dry humor, knowledge both deep and wide-ranging, humanity, compassion, understanding and a wonderful way with words. . . . James is one of Britain's greatest living writers." -St. Louis Post-Dispatch
