Narration Supposing Books The Private Patient (Adam Dalgliesh #14)

I read many Adam Dalgleish novels back in the days when I did not keep a record of my reading. So it seemed right to go to the last one in the series and see what happened to the man over all those years.
And it was nice to see him tying the knot at last as well as solving one last case for us in his inimitable way.
P.D. James is an acquired taste because she does go into an enormous amount of detail. She really wants her reader to see her settings the way she saw them herself and occasionally does go a little far! However her books are so well written I can forgive her easily.
This is not an exciting, gripping thriller. Rather it is a beautifully written police procedural, comfortably paced and very, very British. It was a pleasure to read.

Criticism Regarding Books The Private Patient (Adam Dalgliesh #14)

A solid mystery story ... all the characters in the same house - one of them did it. The interactions between the police were superb. There were also many pertinent observations about the process of aging and the ways of responding to the inevitable.A word regarding James' descriptions of people and places ... I was both a tiny bit irritated that the many descriptions slowed down the story and yet often entranced by their quality.

I've read some reviews saying that this was not as good as previous novels, but I liked it because I like P.D. James' writing. She has so many potential murderers - everybody has something in their past that makes them suspect. This book takes place at a private hospital on the south coast of England where a famous writer has gone to have a scar removed from her face. That evening, groggy from the anesthetic, the lady is murdered. Dalgleish is called in at an inconvenient time (he had a weekend

EXCERPT: On November the 21st, the day of her forty-seventh birthday, and three weeks and two days before she was murdered, Rhoda Gradwyn went to Harley Street to keep a first appointment with her plastic surgeon, and there in a consulting room designed, so it appeared, to inspire confidence and allay apprehension, made the decision which would lead inexorably to her death. Later that day she was to lunch at the Ivy. The timing of the two appointments was fortuitous. Mr Chandler-Powell had no

So I have a lot against this book. First, I've seen reviews that compare this book/author to Agatha Christie and NO, JUST NO. I've read almost every Agatha Christie, some of them several times, and I barely could make myself read two of P.D. James' books (I read the second one because I convinced myself it HAD to get better. Not true).The character development in this is spectacularly lacking, and the conversations feel forced. The only people I liked were Benton and Kate. The only two

A new departure for me as I was listening to this on my journey last week to Liverpool as an audiobook. It meant as I wound my way through rural Dorset and up into Wiltshire and on up to Bath before finally getting on to the motorway if I got stuck behind those people who only seem to drive once a year and then always in front of me I didn't have the normal frustration that seems to ride personnified as a regular passenger on those journeys. Listening to a well read book made me a more patient
