Inhaltsangabe

P. D. James once again demonstrates the truth of Orwell's saying that murder, the unique crime, should arise only from strong emotions. No one handles them with more authority and sensitivity. A Certain Justice, set in the legal world, displays those qualities which aficionados of the classic detective novel have come to expect of P. D. James: a strong plot superbly handled, credible detection, excitement and suspense, and characters who live on in the memory. A Certain Justice is a worthy successor to the acclaimed Original Sin.
