1 author picked Cover Her Face as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is another murder mystery set in a quintessential English village and where we meet detective Adam Dalgleish for the first time.

I loved the way tension gradually builds through the story and how expertly each character is drawn. Nobody is who they seem, including the victim.
From H L's list on classic English murder mysteries.
