A lovely series of dramatizations. Beautifully clear with excellent but not intrusive atmospheric sound effects.

Great series!

Loved the performance and stories ( written by a master of the genre)and although I’ve read most hearing a presentation such as this is great entertainment. However it’s very annoying not having the information about when the individual stories begin

Well done

Love all her books unfortunately I fell asleep and miss out who killed who tried to get back to it but found it too hard.

Love P D James

Great cast and well performed. My only gripe is the constant whistling in the second story...its like fingers down a chalk board.

Great stories, well performed.
