Innocent Blood
Innocent Blood | P.D. James
13 posts | 15 read | 8 to read
Adopted as a child into a privileged family, Philippa Palfrey fantasizes that she is the daughter of an aristocrat and a parlor maid. The terrifying truth about her parents and a long-ago murder is only the first in a series of shocking betrayals. Philippa quickly learns that those who delve into the secrets of the past must be on guard when long-buried horrors begin to stir. "As a crime novel," wrote the London Times, Innocent Blood is "the peak of the art." "Flawlessly crafted...profoundly, masterfully moving," Cosmopolitan concurred.

Its been on the #TBRpile for a while. Its a great plot with multiple twists and a fascinating exploration of nature v nurture. Recommended +++

Thank you @jenniferw88 for Adam‘s book, that‘s so thoughtful! He very much enjoyed having something to unwrap!
I‘m a bit behind on reading @Christine11 and haven‘t started December‘s book yet but hope to next week and then get it to you in plenty of time. @jhod I love the police officer‘s notebook!
#whodunituk

jenniferw88 😊 there is something for you too but i couldn't fit it all in the parcel so it will come with the next #whodunituk book! 5y
LoveToReadLiveToRead @jenniferw88 ooooo, thank you! X 5y
Christine11 No worries! I haven‘t started the December one yet either - an extra month was a good idea! 😊 5y

Have spent most of today finishing off December's #whodunituk. Won't say too much on here as I'm still processing what I've read but @LoveToReadLiveToRead it will be on its way sometime this week.

3 1/2 🌟

Scochrane26 I need to read more of her books. All I‘ve read is death comes to pemberly. 5y
TheBogwitch The Children of Men was really good. Has absolutely nothing in common with the (2007) movie version. 5y

Thank you @Libby1 for the next #whodunituk and for all the sweets (which have already been eaten!! 😳) and don‘t be daft, I don‘t expect any gifts! Life has been crazy stressful my end too, so I feel your pain! I hope December is better for you! 💖

gradcat Love anything by P. D. James—just reread Innocent Blood about a month ago! 5y
Libby1 Hi! Hope you‘re getting on well with the book. 😃 5y
Caroline2 @Libby1 I‘ve finished it now! It was ok, not really my cup of tea tho! 😉 5y

Libby1 @Caroline2 - me neither! I like P.D. James, but this story horrified me. I received 2 books at once this month from the lovely @DeborahSmall , but I hope to at least get Bluebird, Bluebird to you before the end of this month. I really like it so far. 5y
Caroline2 @Libby1 ohhh I‘ve heard good things about that book! No rush tho, take your time! ☕️ 😊 5y
Libby1 😃☕️ 5y
DeborahSmall I‘ve asked Faye to send my December book straight to you @Libby1 as I‘ve never had a book on time. Always a month late, I don‘t want to hold you guys up. I have a couple of the books coming up and will still read them anyway. Really didn‘t enjoy this one though xx 5y
Caroline2 @DeborahSmall okey dokey, but don‘t worry there‘s no rush! I‘m not bothered if a book is a few wks/mths late! I have Mount TBR looming over my bedside table to keep me busy!!! 😁 I hope you and your family are doing ok, you‘ve been in my thoughts! 😘 xxx 5y
DeborahSmall Thanks Caroline. It‘s been so difficult but I think he‘s getting there. Since we involved aunts/uncles we, or rather he, has had so much more support. Cautiously optimistic x 5y
Caroline2 @DeborahSmall Oh good, I‘m glad to hear that! I‘ve got everything crossed for you all! 🤞 💖 5y

“Grief, after all, was an indulgence, having no merit, no social value, rationed out like coins to the deserving poor, a commodity the strong and self-reliant were too proud to need.”

Tonton @Libby1 I‘m going to have to re-read! 5y
Libby1 @Tonton - this is my first read of this one but not my first James. I‘m enjoying it so far! 5y

I don‘t even know what to rate this book, I mean I read it. I did not put it down and I would have put it down if I had not been interested or hadn‘t liked it. But it made my skin crawl.... the plot was so out there and not at all what I expected. Try it out but be forewarned.

I'll be boring and choose a book with the word "innocent" in the title for today's pick, just to show off the PD James signature ?. #augustofpages #augustphotochallenge #signededition

SusanInTiburon Actually that is a really beautiful signature. 💚 8y
