The Private Patient by P.D. James

3.0

The only comment I have is that I was expecting more subtlety with the descriptive prose. Works well in most circumstances, but there was some really clunky dialogue resulting from incorporating an unnatural level of detail. There was also the odd spot of "she boiled the kettle, she poured the water into the teapot, they waited while the tea brewed, she poured the tea, they drank the tea" type of unnecessary exposition which started to annoy me once I'd spotted it.
