The Private Patient by P.D. James

3.0

A country house murder, even though the country house in question is a cosmetic surgery clinic for private patients. There is some overarching wrapping up of storylines for the main detective team, but there is still an absorbing mystery to unravel along the way. And I really do appreciate the way the victim is never just "the victim" but that we do get to know her a little before the death.
