Death of an Expert Witness
by P.D. James
If you're a huge fan, this is worth a read, otherwise, skip it for her later books.
Although published later, I think this was P.D. James's first book. I read it to the end and her famously interesting detective, pacing, and plot twists are all present. The writing is not as strong as her other books and many of the side characters are not particularly interesting or sympathetic. There were also too many of them, and they have similar names and professions--which makes it hard to keep track of what is going on, especially because this is a book that wants you to follow the clues and figure out who the murderer is (which is likely not possible...you don't have enough information to figure it out).
