inulro62. The Private Patient by PD James
The latest PD James number, and quite possibly the best thing she's written since Original Sin (I *heart* Death in Holy Orders too, but Original Sin is the one that really sticks with me).
It has all the usual ingredients of an Adam Dalgliesh mystery. The ending is unsatisfying, but that's explicitly the point. The quality of the prose is outstanding in places.
By comparison, the latest Kathy Reichs novel is even less excusable than I thought it was at the time.
