Description:
The book has a collection of spine creases and some price sticker residue on the front cover. 416 pages are clean, tight and still fairly bright. James introduced Cordelia Gray in 1972 and then brought us the sequel in 1982. (This reprint followed another ten years later.) And that's it. A series of just two, but one that influenced later tough yet vulnerable female detective characters.

The Skull Beneath the Skin Mass market paperbound - 1994
by P. D. James
Summary
A Cordelia Gray MysteryHired 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.

THERE COULD BE NO DOUBT ABOUT IT; the new nameplate was crooked.
