A review by book_concierge
Shroud for a Nightingale by P.D. James
3.0
Audiobook performed by Penelope Dellaporta
3***
Book 4 in the Adam Dalgliesh mystery series has the detective investigating two deaths at a school of nursing, Nightingale House.
I really like how Dalgliesh is so methodical and contemplative. He never rushes to a conclusion, and carefully constructs and explores the possibilities before proclaiming a case is solved. This one took several turns I didn’t expect. I was sure I had the right person, and then I knew I was wrong. Okay, so it must be THAT one. Wrong again. I never guessed the actual culprit.
Penelope Dellaporta does a fine job of narrating the audiobook. There are a lot of characters, most of them women, and she is up to the task of differentiating them so that the listener always knows who is speaking.
