A Mind to Murder by P.D. James
2.0
I don't like it when I give low scores but well, I am not on the Dalgliesh bandwagon yet.
Reading these books in order will hopefully prove to be interesting but for now, the reading of the 2nd book came a little too early after finishing the first. There was a complete change in scenery but still, the characters could be swapped out between books without any problem, they all sounded exactly the same. Also, Dalgliesh doesn't seem to be integral to the story at all. It could just as well be an anonymous detective. The only thing connecting the two books is an obviously doomed romantic relationship with one of the previous suspects.
