P.D. James

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Part of the bestselling mystery series that inspired Dalgliesh on Acorn TV When distinguished criminal lawyer Venetia Aldridge defends a young man for the brutal murder of his mother, she views the case as simply another opportunity to demonstrate her brilliance in the courtroom. But within weeks of the trial Aldridge is found dead at her desk, a bloodstained barrister’s wig on her head. And as Commander Adam Dalgliesh of Scotland Yard attempts to make sense of events, the murders continue, inexorably spiraling into fresh complexities of horror.

sina (she/her) 

"Woman? Black? How convenient to bracket us together. Pity we haven't a black, lesbian, unmarried mother with a disability. That way you could satisfy four politically correct requirements at one go. And it's bloody condescending to me. Do you think successful women want to be made to feel that we've got where we are because men were kind enough to give us an unfair advantage?"
