Well, 'Devices and Desires' is a must - mention. The Norfolk setting adds a lot to the atmosphere of the story. It's about a serial killer, and PD James does an excellent job of building suspense. The way she weaves the different storylines together makes it a very satisfying read.
Many consider 'An Unsuitable Job for a Woman' as one of her best. It features Cordelia Gray, a young female detective, and has a complex mystery with great character development.
Definitely 'The Children of Men' is among the top. It presents a dystopian future where humans have lost the ability to reproduce. PD James' writing in this novel is both thought - provoking and chilling. It explores themes of hope, despair, and the human condition in a world on the brink, and her detailed descriptions make the bleak future seem all too real.
Definitely 'Casino Royale'. It's the one that started it all, giving us the suave, tough Bond we know. Then there's 'From Russia with Love' which is full of twists and turns. It really showcases Bond's skills in a very tense and exciting way. And 'Goldfinger' is so well - known for its great villain and the whole idea of Bond taking on a powerful, gold - obsessed foe.
Well, 'Go Tell It on the Mountain' is definitely up there. It's a really important work that shows Baldwin's ability to write about his own experiences in a way that can be related to by so many. It's got a really strong sense of place and character.
Well, 'Tai - Pan' is very good. It has a great deal of action and adventure set against the backdrop of the formation of Hong Kong. There are so many interesting sub - plots and characters that keep you hooked from start to finish.
Well, 'The Angel Experiment' from the Maximum Ride series is quite good. It's about a group of kids who are part human and part bird. The story is fast - paced and full of adventure. It has a unique concept that really draws you in.
Definitely 'The Portrait of a Lady'. It's a classic. Then there's 'The Turn of the Screw', which is really famous for its psychological horror elements. And 'The Ambassadors' is also very good.
For me, 'Alaska' is among the best. It takes readers on a journey through Alaska's history, from its native inhabitants to the gold rush and modern times. Michener's detailed research really shines through in this novel.
A strong contender for her best is 'The Children of Men'. It presents a dystopian world where human infertility has become the norm. The novel is thought - provoking, with detailed world - building and exploration of themes like hope and despair in the face of a global crisis.
I think 'The Portrait of a Lady' is one of the top ones. It's a story that follows Isabel Archer's journey in Europe and her experiences with love and marriage. 'The Ambassadors' is also great, as it has a lot to say about how people from different cultures interact. And 'Daisy Miller' is well - loved for its simple yet profound look at the differences between American and European ways.
