Cover Her Face was written by PD James and published by Penguin Books in 1989.
I later found out that this was PD James’ first novel; fortunately I had read some of her other books before and liked them; else I would have just stopped at this one.
Sally Jupp, an unmarried mother had recently started work as a house-parlormaid with the Maxies.
She announced her engagement to Stephen Maxie, stunning his family and friends who had gathered for a
dinner. The next morning she was found strangled in her locked room; she had been drugged as well.
Inspector Dalgliesh was called in from Scotland Yard. The Maxie siblings, Stephen and his sister Deborah did their own amateur sleuthing as well.
Deborah had met Sally’s aunt at the funeral, and learned about how they brought up Sally after the death of her parents. But ever since Sally left their house, she had never contacted them again.

Is Inspector Dalgliesh firm at his background? You know i will be glad if give me summary about his part he played his summary.
