The Private Patient

The Private Patient - P D James

This is an example of PD James at her very best.  The private patient is another of the Adam Dalgleish Mysteries. Dalgleish and his team get involved in a murder which occurs at a private clinic in Dorset.  A patient has been murdered and as usual there is a list of characters who we can choose from who is the culprit.  It is gentle and beautifully written as one would expect.  I read this on holiday which is the best time as you can give the novel your full attention.  I recommend PD James to anyone who likes murder mystery stories.  The characters are beautifully crafted however they are from another time.  They do appear to be slightly dated in their construction and could have walked out of an Agatha Christy story.

I give this an 8 out of 10
