The mystery was rather light and had a hurried finish but it’s always a pleasure to revisit the characters. While not as good as others in the series, that P.D. James wrote this in her late 80s is amazing.
The first of the Peculiar Crimes Unit mysteries, set in modern times with flashbacks to the London blitz. Great characters and scene setting, and the mystery was definitely on the peculiar side. Will look for others in the series.
