I hardly read any detective stories or murder mysteries anymore as they seem the same to me. And I guess this was not so different. Only the style of language was not so common for the murder mysteries I have read so far. It took me quite a few pages to realize what deacade we are on as the style of the writing was more early 1900 than the 90's.
I was little dissapointed in the end as the motive for murder was a bit irrelevant to the story itself. Also I found some characters like Mandy a bit too loose for the story. The book starts we her, but in the end she is just outsider and not at all relevant to the plot.
So I guess if you like this style and murder mystery, this book is worth the time. I am not very inclined to read more of P.D. James.
