"Superb.... A treat for mystery lovers, and a gift to all readers." --"USA Today"
" "
"Splendidly suspenseful." --"The Washington Post Book World"
" "
"A first-rate detective novel, but it goes beyond that fine achievement to another realm.... An intricate, compassionate novel." --"The Boston Globe
"
"Her best and most ambitious tale to date.... The reigning mistress of murder.... A craftsman with a poet's vision, she not only detects evil but attempts to uncover the more elusive--and enduring--enigmas of the human psyche that lead to it." --"Time
"
"Rich, multifaceted.... Involving and genuinely moving.... So ambitious and thematically challenging that it has few peers in its genre. A Taste for Death provides all the entertaining elements of a more conventional murder mystery, but James continually delivers that something extra.... James at her best, at the zenith of her writing career." --"Houston Chronicle
"
"Literary grace of a high order and the ability to give full dimensions to both character, relationships and environment.... She writes with precision and elegance." --"Los Angeles Times"
"Ms. James is simply a wonderful writer." --"The New York Times Book Review
"
"Rings of authenticity ... compelling.... The ability to haunt has earned P. D. James the title of 'queen of crime.' Long may she reign." --"Chicago Sun-Times
"
"James still delivers the pace and tensions of a mystery yarn better than any living writer." --"People
"
"A pleasure to read.... One avidly turns the pages." --"Cleveland Plain Dealer
"
"The best of James' ten novels.... She has blended a whodunit and a fully realized modern novel." --"The New York Times Magazine
"
"Marvelous." --"Newsweek
"
"One reads a P. D. James novel in something like the same spirit that one reads a novel by Zola, Balzac, Thackeray, or Dickens." --"The Christian Science Monitor"
