Title: Sleep No More
Subtitle: Six Murderous Tales
Author: P. D. James
Narrator: Daniel Weyman
Format: Unabridged
Length: 3 hrs and 57 mins
Language: English
Release date: 10-05-17
Publisher: Faber & Faber
Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes
Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Classic Detective
Publisher's Summary:
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.
Members Reviews:
Good bedtime reads
Short stories of murder. Good bedtime reads. No heavy lifting. But not as good as a James full length mystery.
Clever
I love the twists and surprises in these stories. You are so clever, P.D. I love to ponder why you are such.
OK Shorts
Amusing collection of short stories, most rather cynical, not Ms James' best work.
I always enjoy P. D
These short stories are a quick read. I always enjoy P.D. James' books, and this one is quite good.
Three Stars
Very dull for such a really good writer. Not worth the price of admission.
