    RIP PD James

    Haven't read any of her books yet, mind, but she was brilliant as guest host of Today a few years ago, despite her very advanced age.

    Damning with faint praise, but I've read more than EEG. Two, I think.

    I would read more, but I have a bias towards American crime. Murders that happen in the Bronx, not Bourton-on-the-Water.

    RIP, anyway.

      Never read any of her books either.

        There aren't that many really. She didn't publish till she was in her forties, as she was — effectively — a single mother with two daughters.

        I've read a dozen or so of her books, and never been disappointed. Though I can't say I was blown away either. 'Accomplished' is good descriptive I think. I also admired how she didn't just crank out another Dalgliesh novel every year, but would try something different, like the dystopian Children of God or true crime, The Maul and the Pear Tree.
