Talking About Detective Fiction by P.D. James
4.0
Rating: I liked it a lot
Nov 2019’s random pick project
If you like detective novels I highly recommend this book.
P. D. James gives us an overview of the more representative authors and works of the genre.
This was concise, educational and very honest. I liked how respectful she was, not minimizing or writing off any author or novel.
I was surprised because I think I saw an article where she criticized Christie (a crime in my eyes), but here she wasn’t like that, she wasn’t a little bit snob. Now I wonder if I misunderstood her in that article
