Book Description

Headstrong and beautiful, the young housemaid Sally Jupp is put rudely in her place, strangled in her bed behind a bolted door. Coolly brilliant policeman Adam Dalgliesh of Scotland Yard must find her killer among a houseful of suspects, most of whom had very good reason to wish her ill.

Cover Her Face is P. D. James's electric debut novel, an ingeniously plotted mystery that immediately placed her among the masters of suspense.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book that will truly hypnotize you!, Feb 18 2002

By A Customer

This story takes place in the 1960's. It is about a British family who has two maids. The main characters in the story are Sally Jupp, Mrs. Lidell, Dr. Epps, Catherine Bowers, Deborah Riscoe, Felix Hearne, Dr. Stephen Maxie, Mrs. Maxie and Martha Bultitaft.
Dr. Maxie has just proposed to his housemaid, Sally Jupp. The engagement was very surprising and disapointing to all of his family and friends. Many people are even mad enough to kill Sally. Sure enough Sally is found dead the next day behind the bolted door leading to her room. Among a houseful of suspects Detective Adam Dagliesh must find her killer. Using only interviews and two minor clues see how Dagleish solves the mystery.
I liked this book because of how all the characters had a huge part in how Dagliesh figured out who the killer was. And another reason why I liked this story was because I liked to see how Dagliesh uses what he already has to track down who the killer is.
I really like this book and recommend it. But i do think it was more of an adult book because of the language and the vocabulary.I think this book would be appropriate for people over the age of 14. This was one of the best books I have ever read so if you see it somewhere go ahead and start reading!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great who done it, May 18 2009

By	Jacky Ketel (Nobleford, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Cover Her Face (Unbound)

If you enjoy a good old-fashioned mystery where you are left guessing right until the end as to who committed the crime, this is a great book for you. Well written.

4.0 out of 5 stars guessing til the end, Aug 17 2009

By	D Glover (northern canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Cover Her Face (Unbound)

Actually, I would give this 3.75 stars if I could. P.D. James paints a vivid picture in her careful attention to details of setting and characters and in creating the mood of the story. This story is suspenseful but not in a contrived way. Told from an omniscient observer perspective (the reader hears not only the words but also the thoughts of all the main characters), James still leaves one guessing "who dun it" right to the very end, and pulls off a surprise. Also, Adam Dalgleish takes his place in my hall of fame of great all-time detectives. This was my first P.D. James novel and I believe it was her first as well. If this represents the quality of her writing, and I think we can assume she only gets better with practice, then she well deserves the accolades she receives as the reigning queen of murder mystery.
