The New Adam Dalgliesh Mystery
‘The Private Patient is classic James.’ Allan Massie, ScotsmanWhen the notorious investigative journalist, Rhoda Gradwyn, booked into Mr Chandler-Powell’s private clinic in Dorset for the removal of a disfiguring and long-standing facial scar, she had every prospect of a successful operation by a distinguished surgeon, a week’s peaceful convalescence in one of Dorset’s most beautiful manor houses, and the beginning of a new life. She was never to leave Cheverell Manor alive. Dalgliesh and his team are called in to investigate the murder, and later a second death, which are to raise even more complicated problems than the question of innocence or guilt.‘This is a book about the way we live now . . . James brings a stinging clarity to the complicated goings-on in the Dorset countryside; its grotesque mysteries decoded by Dalgliesh.’ Penny Perrick, Sunday Times‘P. D. James is a career gymnast, entertaining us with her inventive mastery of the classic English mystery novel.’ M. John Harrison, Guardian‘Complex but never losing its tension, The Private Patient is a remarkable achievement.’ Kathryn Bradley-Hole, Country Life.
