The Private Patient by PD James

You know you’re in the company of PD James from the first sentence: elegantly phrased, plot-driven, multi-layered and laced with menace. By the time you reach the final line, you may decide that the conclusion to this, the 88-year-old crime writer’s 16th thriller, is flawed, but there is a quality to the writing that makes The Private Patient a pleasure to read, nevertheless.
