About this listen
Adopted as a child into a privileged family, Philippa Palfrey fantasizes that she is the daughter of an aristocrat and a parlor maid. The terrifying truth about her parents and a long-ago murder is only the first in a series of shocking betrayals. Philippa quickly learns that those who delve into the secrets of the past must be on guard when long-buried horrors begin to stir.
“As a crime novel,” wrote the London Times, Innocent Blood is “the peak of the art.” “Flawlessly crafted . . . profoundly, masterfully moving,” Cosmopolitan concurred.©2001 P.D. James; (P)2009 Random House
My only quibble is that the narrator made no pause, at all, between the last word of the previous chapter, running immediately into the new chapter. A small thing but I found it off-putting. It also took a bit to get used to the extremely ‘plummy’ voice of the narrator but once I did, it really was very suitable.
In summation, this is a really “smart” mystery; the settings, the amazing characterizations and the overall plot were superbly crafted. I can’t recommend this book highly enough.
BEST P.D. James I’ve read!
