内容摘要 毫无疑问,此次本书的人物会有所变化。寇蒂莉亚不必再让毕维斯大上午闲逛似的穿梭在拥挤的金丽大街上,透过目不暇接的货车和出租车打量那块牌匾,只为了得出一个精确的数据:这个如此精规细划而又昂贵的长方形铜器安装得不太正,歪了半英寸。因为她觉得,虽然这块牌匾的名字简单明了得不乏白命不凡和荒诞不羁,正像它歪斜的位置一样,对于一个没什么希望和缺乏宣传的企业来说,这样的广告宣传已经足够了…… In The Skull Beneath the Skin, the second Cordelia Gray mystery from P.D. James, Cordelia is hired to protect a beautiful but neurotic actress and soon becomes embroiled in a case as dangerous to her life as it is mysterious. A Cordelia Gray Mystery Hired to protect a beautiful but neurotic actress, Cordelia Gray soon becomes embroiled in a case as dangerous to her own life as it is mysterious. Clarissa Lisle hopes to make a spectacular comeback in a production of The Duchess of Malfi, to be played in Ambrose Gorringe's sinister castle at Courcy Island. Cordelia is there to ensure her safety following the appearance of a number of poison-pen letters. But it soon becomes clear that all are in danger. Trapped within the walls of the Gothic castle, the treacherous past of the island re-emerges, and everyone seems to have a motive for sending Clarissa 'down, down to hell'. Marking the return of Cordelia Gray, The Skull Beneath the Skin is a complex mystery which more than lives up to its predecessor, An Unsuitable Job for a Woman.
