The Private PatientBy P. D. James
Alfred A Knopf, 2008. 352 pgs. Mystery
Commander Adam Dalgliesh and his team are called in to investigate a murder at a private nursing home for the wealthier patients being treated by the famous plastic surgeon George Chandler-Powell. The book has the cerebral qualities James is known for and focuses on the intertwining relationships of the patients and staff that reside at the stately English residence, Cheverell Manor. A lovely, literary puzzle that surprisingly ends in a double wedding. Despite the multiple murders, by Shakespeare’s standards this would classify as a comedy.
