Death of an Expert Witness What metaphors are used in Death of an Expert Witness by P. D. James? Asked by bookragstutor on 20 Aug 04:17 Last updated by Cat on 10 Apr 02:48
The silk drapery cord is in a trunk in the Hoggatt Chapel, which Dr. Kerrison uses to strangle Stella Mawson and then to hang her from the rafters to make it appear a suicide. It is a metaphor for appearences and deceit.
