    <![CDATA[When 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.A new detective novel by P. D. James is always keenly awaited and &quot;The Private Patient&quot; will undoubtedly equal the success of her worldwide bestseller &quot;The Lighthouse&quot;. It displays the qualities which P. D. James' readers have come to expect: a masterly psychological and emotional richness of characterisation, a vivid evocation of place and a credible and exciting mystery. &quot;The Private Patient&quot; is a powerful work of contemporary fiction.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I found this to be so leisurely -- pages-long descriptions of car trips through the countryside, detailed listings of the stuff in every room -- that I had to force myself to finish.  But I'm giving it 3 stars because for God's sake, this woman is 88 YEARS OLD.  I can barely find my car keys and she...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/39975162">more...</a>]]></body>
