Krátky popis
The acknowledged 'Queen of Crime', P. D. James, was a past master
of the short story, weaving together motifs of the Golden Age of
crime-writing with deep psychological insight to create gripping,
suspenseful tales. The Mistletoe Murder and Other Stories contained
four of these perfectly formed stories, and this companion volume
contains a further six, published here together for the first time.
As the six murderous tales unfold, the dark motive of revenge is
revealed at the heart of each. Bullying schoolmasters receive their
comeuppance, unhappy marriages and childhoods are avenged, a murder
in the small hours of Christmas Day puts an end to the vicious new
lord of the manor, and, from the safety of his nursing home, an
octogenarian exerts exquisite retribution. The punishments
inflicted on the guilty are fittingly severe, but here they are
meted out by the unseen forces of natural justice rather than the
institutions of the law. Once again, P. D. James shows her expert
control of the short-story form, conjuring motives and scenarios
with complete conviction, and each with a satisfying twist in the
tail.
