### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    And it doesn't affect the fundamentally brilliant ability of this stellar mystery writer
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2016*

Carefully plotted, typical of P. D. James.  In the morbid, large home, which provides an unsuitable and sinister facility for nurse training the list of possible murder suspects is intriguing.  There are reasonable suspects, the pursuit of whom end in dead ends.  Yet the crafty clues that hint at the prime suspect give fair chance to the reader early on.  One quibble I have with James concerning this book is her repeated description of some of the nurses, even the most accomplished, as fundamently unintelligent. Having completed a college degree in the required sciences and the passing of the difficult state exams, I earned an RN license.  I added to this rigorous qualifications in critical care nursing.  Later, I changed careers and earned a PhD in Philosophy at Marquette University. It struck me as odd that James would refer to nursing as a profession that can be successfully mastered by "fundamentally unintelligent" nurses.  That's a small irritation that won't matter to others.  And it doesn't affect the fundamentally brilliant ability of this stellar mystery writer.  Highly recommended.

    They don't come any better!

Dame P.D. James  never put a foot wrong with her many Adam Dalgleish books.  Every word, every phrase, is carefully chosen tomake the reader turn the pages way into the night.  She and Superintendent Dalglish delved into many phases of British life,the Church, Medicine, Monastery life, business, publishing, Law, etc. and in this books (my personal favorite) she reveals theworld of the Nursing School students and instructors.  The early-on murder, seemingly without any motivation, opens the doors toso many possibilities and I challenge readers to unmask the culprit until the very end.  She is never pedantic, her writing isreadable while also being instructive.  Dame Phyllis passed away last year at the age of 93 or 94, and will be greatly missed. Shehas been called the best writer in the mystery genre, and rumor has it members the British Royal family enjoy  her books.Her final mystery "The Private Patient" is also well worth reading.  HIGHLY recommended.  She never wrote a bad book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good book
  

*by B***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2020*

Excellent book.  However, P. D. James doesn’t seem to be fond of paragraphs.  I use them with a bookmark to determine when to take a break and some pages have none.  Minor but noteworthy.  I’m reading the whole Adam Dalgliesh Mystery series in order.
