Shroud For A Nightingale by P.D. James
3.0
P.D James has a very distinctive writing style and I've always looked forward to reading her books.
Her series featuring Adam Dalgliesh, a Scotland Yard detective, has been engrossing. So imagine my disappointment with this fourth book. Despite a promising introduction, I quickly lost interest. Although it can almost be considered a historical mystery with its outdated setting, that wasn't the problem. I just didn't manage to immerse myself in the story and it's simply because I hate quiting a book that I managed to read it to the end.
