A review by michael5000
Original Sin by P.D. James

2.0

Pretty good set-up and midgame; pretty awful ending. Among other problems, this is the second James in a row I've read where a police officer discovers the real murderer, but buries the finding due to some sort of moral quandary. Use of this device must be strictly limited to at most one instance in a writer's career, if it must be used at all.
