|  | | P. D. James
With morality-conscious mysteries that do not linger on gore, P. D. James is a sort of anti-Lecter. Her tales are told in the whodunit tradition that prizes character, restraint and the slow unraveling of both a mystery and a social niche.

by
P. D. James
When James decided to write a memoir in 1997, she took a somewhat unconventional approach and structured it as a one-year diary, hence the title. The result combines a view of her later daily life and the world around her with a look on past events, from living in wartime England to her husband's battle with mental illness.
