Adam Dalgliesh Mysteries
Read by Michael Jayston

Cheverell Manor is a lovely old house in deepest Dorset, now a private clinic
belonging to the famous plastic surgeon George Chandler-Powell. When investigative
journalist Rhoda Gradwyn arrived there one late autumn afternoon, scheduled to have
a disfiguring and long-standing facial scar removed, she had every expectation of
a successful operation and a pleasant week recuperating.

Two days later she was dead, the victim of murder.

To Commander Adam Dalgliesh, who with his team is called in to investigate the
case, the mystery at first seems absolute. Few things about it make sense. Yet as
the detectives begin probing the lives and backgrounds of those connected with the
dead woman.the surgeon, members of the manor staff, close acquaintances.suspects
multiply all too rapidly. New confusions arise, including strange historical
overtones of madness and a lynching 350 years in the past. Then there is a second
murder, and Dalgliesh finds himself confronted by issues even more challenging
than innocence or guilt.

P. D. James has gained an enviable reputation for creating detective stories of
uncommon depth and intricacy, combined with the sort of humanity and perceptiveness
found only in the finest novelists. The Private Patient ranks among her very best.
