Relation In Favor Of 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.

Assessment Out Of Books The Private Patient (Adam Dalgliesh #14)

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

You can't go wrong with P.D. James and her Adam Dalgliesh series. As someone mentioned in one of my book clubs, these are not quick reads and have some "meat on the bone". But they are easy reads and the story flows smoothly toward a sometimes susprising denouement.In this late entry of the series, we find a successful investigative reporter checking into an expensive private plastic surgery clinic to have a disfiguring facial scar removed. All goes well as far as the surgery is concerned but

In this 14th book in the 'Adam Dalgliesh' series, the Scotland Yard detective investigates murder at a medical clinic. The book can be read as a standalone.*****Investigative journalist Rhoda Gradwyn - who's exposed her fair share of secrets - schedules plastic surgery to remove a disfiguring facial scar. Her surgeon, George Chandler-Powell runs a private clinic in his ritzy country estate at Cheverell Manor.There he employs a motley assortment of characters including an assistant surgeon, a

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

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

Ate it up with a spoon. The Baronness is in fine form. The denouement was a little less than gripping, and the end was a little too wrappy-uppy--I was waiting for some final twist that never came. But, I'm not really complaining because the enjoyment was there. I went straight on to the new Elizabeth George, the poor woman's P.D. James.

well...it wasn't so much that i didn't like this book, i just wasn't excited about it. there were parts that were too detailed about things that i didn't care about, and there were parts that were fine. i also felt a darkness in the setting and characters, and felt that there wasn't really anyone to like or to relate to. i did think the last few chapters were a little odd - the whole stone thing. what??? ok - i admit that insanity makes people do odd things, but really??? well all i can say is
