Phyllis Dorothy James (1920-2014) was a British writer, a classic of the modern English detective, a member of the British Royal Academy, a life peer of the House of Lords with the title of Baroness, granted to her personally by Queen Elizabeth II, Officer of the Order of the British Empire. F.D. James has received many literary awards, including three Silver Daggers and the Cartier Diamond Dagger from the British Mystery Writers' Association. The writer is often called a modern-day Agatha Christie."

"Cover Her Face" is F.D. James's first novel, published in 1962. The red-haired beauty Sally Japp, a single mother, was patronised to work as a maid at the respectable Martingale estate. But instead of the obedience and humility expected of a young woman, Sally behaved extremely badly: she was sharp and sharp-tongued, poked her nose into the master's affairs, and even announced her engagement to the master's son, surgeon Stephen Maxey... And that same night she was strangled to death. The murderer must be discovered by Inspector Adam Delgleish, who is well aware that the entire household is under suspicion, because Sally has managed to turn everyone in the estate against her - from the old maid Martha to the mistress, Mrs Maxey.
