A Mind To Murder by P.D. James

4.0

P. D. James worked as a hospital admnistrator for close to twenty years, and her knowledge about hospital administration shows up in "A Mind to Murder." There are a lot of characters to keep track of in the first five chapters. Then in chapter six, James opens up Dalgleish to our view. It begins with his lighting a candle in a Catholic church on the anniversary of his wife's death. Little bits of his emotional self are revealed, as when he thinks that what irritates him about Fredrica Saxon's self-sufficiency is envy. We also hear his internal worries about failing to solve the case.
