back blurb - Cheverell Manor, a lovely old house in Dorset, serves as the renowned plastic surgeon George Chandler-Powell's private clinic. Investigative journalist Rhoda Gradwyn arrives to have a disfiguring facial scar removed. Within hours of the operation, she is murdered.
Commander Dalgliesh and his team are called in to investigate. But old crimes and complicated secrets of the past prove complex and perplexing.
Oh so British, and such a good read. The writing is delightful, the descriptions and settings are rich, and the characters have depth. The Private Patient by PD James is an utter gem of a tale. Kept me guessing! Pour a cup of tea, and start reading....
A little British anything brings delight and tea cravings. But only for the highest quality tea, and perhaps chocolate covered scones on the side. Glad you enjoyed the read.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Joanne.
Indeed. Gotta love that oh so proper vibe. She’s a class act writer. Cheers my friend.
DeleteHi Joanne - she's highly respected ... and the area around Devon is 'murderishly appropriate' - I must read some of her books. I'm not sure where Robyn got her chocolate covered scones idea from ... ??!! But if she enjoys them - fine: not for me ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteA perfect writer. And Robyn likes chocolate on everything.
DeleteCheers!
