ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Cover Her Face by P.D. James opens with the shocking murder of a beautiful house-parlourmaid found strangled in her bed at the elegant Maxie estate. Detective Chief-Inspector Adam Dalgleish of Scotland Yard is called to unravel the mystery within the seemingly respectable household. Each member of the Maxie family, from the son and heir to the seemingly loyal housekeeper, harbors secrets and potential motives for wanting the young woman dead. As Dalgliesh investigates, he navigates a web of suspicion, hidden pasts, and long-held resentments, peeling back the veneer of polite society to expose the dark truths lurking beneath. The investigation delves into the complex relationships and social dynamics of the inhabitants of Martingale as the cunning killer remains concealed.
