The private patient

Finished this while at the beach, and then promptly forgot about it. Jacob and I started it out loud on a trip to Great Basin NP in Nevada, then finished it while drinking beer and squeezing sand between our toes in NC. I haven't read any P.D. James in a long time, but my mother (rightly) adores her as the most droll (drollest?) contemporary mystery writer. Only three stars because it's actually fairly difficult to read a mystery out loud & still keep the proper pace required to maintain suspense. Five stars for James' use of the adjective “mullioned” to describe a great many windows.
