    About this audiobook

    A stand-alone thriller from P. D. James.
    Philippa Palfrey, adopted as a child, believes herself to be the motherless, illegitimate daughter of an aristocratic father. At eighteen she exercises her right to find out the truth. What she discovers will change her life forever. Philippa enters a new and terrifying world and soon comes to realize that she is not the only one interested in her parents' whereabouts.
    Innocent Blood is both a mystery and a thriller, a superb novel that explores the themes of self-identity and the meaning of life.

      Mostly good. Very different to the last book I read by this author so I'm not sure how it relates to her series... I rarely ever give less than 5 stars unless the story was REALLY bad. Did Virginia Andrews steal your typewriter for a few paragraphs? Eeek! The rest I really enjoyed, you are really good at fleshing out flawed people.
