All He Ever Wanted by Anita Shreve book

An Unsuitable Job for a Woman by P.D. James
I’m not usually big fan of P.D. James novels primarily, I suspect because I don’t particularly care for her primary character, Adam Dagliesh. I’m not sure why, but he is uninteresting to me. He is too aloof and without enough emotions and quirks to gain and certainly not maintain …
