" The Murder Room is James''s most suspenseful, atmospheric novel in years and has no shortage of surprise twists." -- The New York Times Book Review "Another elegant tale of murder, mystery, human misery and the wonder of love. James explores the lowest of depravity...with the most elegant prose." -- USA Today "Riveting...exquisite, absorbing.... The Murder Room possesses everything we desire, no, long for, from James." -- The Miami Herald "Elegantly constructed, beautifully written...[ The Murder Room ] is cause for rejoicing.... [It] is that much-sought-after but rare combination of reading that both transports the reader to another world and engages the imagination." -- St. Louis Post-Dispatch "Difficult--and delightful--as it is to believe, P. D. James keeps getting better.... The Murder Room might be the best mystery novel of 2003.... This is a book to savor...with writing so felicitous the reader doesn''t want it to end." -- Indianapolis Star "Riveting.... The Murder Room possesses everything we desire from James.... [Her] lovely, clear prose travels at a stately pace, never cluttered by random violence or unnecessary characters, taking us where we need to be with assurance, intelligence and grace. No word or action is wasted; everyone and everything matters." -- The Chicago Tribune "Ms. James skill is impressively displayed." -- The New York Times "P.D. James is surely one of the best living writers of English. [ The Murder Room ]''s typical James-wonderful English settings, fine writing, psychological depth." -- Rocky Mountain News "Any ranking of today''s best crime writers would surely put Britain''s P.D. James at or near the top. This subtly told, character-driven novel, which emphasizes people over plot, provides, as usual, a richly-rewarding reading experience." -- The San Diego Union-Tribune "Immensely satisfying, with James introducing her large cast and its secrets with consummate skill." -- The Washington Post "Carefully crafted...[with] richly portrayed characters.... P. D. James can still spin an intricate web of psychological suspense that demands the reader''s attention and involvement.... James tells this tale in lucid language, with a wry eye on people and their faults." -- San Antonio Express-News "Elegant...smooth storytelling.... The culprit remains convincingly elusive until the end." -- Houston Chronicle "A perfectly cozy read for a cold, foggy night when you feel like curling up with a cup of tea." -- Entertainment Weekly "Sophisticated literary entertainment.... Masterful detailing of people and place.... Acute psychological portraits.... [A] carefully crafted tale." -- The Orlando Sentinel "Literate prose, sprinkled with enough deliciously British details to satisfy even the most diehard Anglophile.... [James is] an enormously appealing novelist." -- The Boston Globe "Expertly plotted and elegantly written, the novel will stand with the best of her always-fine work. And as usual with a James novel, the characters are drawn with care and sympathy." -- The Richmond Times-Dispatch "James whips up a thought-provoking, finely crafted literary murder mystery.... The Murder Room is a riveting and well-constructed read." -- San Jose Mercury News "Elegant language and deft, intricate characterizations." -- Pittsburg Tribune-Review "James writes of the whydunit rather than the whodunit and her grasp and appreciation for the boundless perplexities of human behavior deeply enriches her books." -- Philadelphia Inquirer "The eminence grise of British detective fiction, James delivers another ruminative puzzler, generous in character, graceful in prose." -- The Village Voice "James'' strength as a writer lies in her ability to craft characters with depth. She doesn''t just supply names and ages but gives readers a sense of her characters'' desires and motives (and not just murderous ones)." -- Fort Worth Star-Telegram, " The Murder Room is James's most suspenseful, atmospheric novel in years and has no shortage of surprise twists." - The New York Times Book Review "Another elegant tale of murder, mystery, human misery and the wonder of loveÉ.
