Cover her face

Average rating3.4
The first in the series of scintillating mysteries to feature cunning Scotland Yard detective, Adam Dalgliesh from P.D. James, the bestselling author hailed by People magazine as “the greatest living mystery writer.” Dalgliesh is also a streaming series starring Bertie Carvel—now in its third season!
Sally Jupp was a sly and sensuous young woman who used her body and her brains to make her way up the social ladder. Now she lies across her bed with dark bruises from a strangler’s fingers forever marring her lily-white throat. Someone has decided that the wages of sin should be death...and it is up to Chief Inspector Adam Dalgliesh to find who that someone is.
Cover Her Face is P.D. James’ delightful debut novel, an ingeniously plotted mystery that immediately placed her among the masters of suspense.

Neat little whodunnit. I had sort of guessed who the culprit was before the end but it was an enjoyable enough read.
Although some individual bits of nice writing, nothing exciting here, especially Inspector Dalgleish.
Rather stolid and but I was intrigued by the structure. I've read her before, but only sporadically over the years, so it'll be interesting to see how her style unfolds.
