P. D. James
On the Dangerous Edge
' The essential stimulus to a writer's creative imagination can come in a number of ways: perhaps the underlying theme of the novel, or one particular character. or, for a detective novelist, a new and ingenious method of murder. But, for me, it is usually none of these. For me it all starts with a place.'
P. D. JAMES has inherited the title 'Queen of Crime' from Dorothy L. Sayers and Agatha Christie. In such books as The Black Tower, Death of an Expert Witness, Innocent Blood and The Skull Beneath the Skin, she has extended the boundaries of detective fiction to include places and situations which are very far from the country house parties and sinister villages of the classic 1 whodunit
