It seems every new P.D. James book is widely distributed yet I have yet to meet anyone who actually reads and enjoys them. Most say they cannot stand Daglish. Any lovers here? Willow

Thanks to finding one book by this writer in a strange second hand place, I now have all of his very "noir" books and enjoyed them all. What makes it a bit strange is that Johnson wrote all his books while serving time for murder at Stillwater Prison in Minnesota. SILVER STREET starts them off,...
