P D James, writer of over 20 novels had died aged 94 at her Oxford (UK) home.  Known for her crime fiction, including those featuring Adam Dalgliesh, she was revered by many published and aspiring authors and only last year started writing another detective story.  A favourite among library readers, her books have translated into many languages, turned into audiobooks and been adapted into film and television series.  Her mystery inspired by “Pride and Prejudice“, “Death comes to Pemberley” is showing on ABC TV.
