Historia
It's not always a question of "whodunit?" Sometimes there's more mystery in the why or how. And although we usually know the unhealthy fates of both victim and perpetrator, what of those clever few who plan and carry out the perfect crime? The ones who aren't brought down even though they're found out? And what about those who do the finding out who witness a murder or who identify the murderer but keep the information to themselves? These are some of the mysteries that we follow through those six stories.

As a matter of routine, or so it seems, the case passes across the desk of Detective Sergeant Smith, recently returned to work after an internal investigation into another case that has led to tensions between officers at Kings Lake police headquarters. As an ex-DCI, Smith could have retired by now, and it is clear that some of his superiors wish that he would do so.

After working with the best-selling crime writer for years, she's intimately familiar with his detective, Atticus Pünd, who solves mysteries disturbing sleepy English villages. An homage to queens of classic British crime such as Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers, Alan's traditional formula has proved hugely successful.

Resumen del Editor
Two days later she was dead, the victim of murder. To Commander Adam Dalgliesh, who with his team is called in to investigate the case, the mystery at first seems absolute. Few things about it make sense. Yet as the detectives begin probing the lives and backgrounds of those connected with the dead woman the surgeon, members of the manor staff, close acquaintances suspects multiply all too rapidly. New confusions arise, including strange historical overtones of madness and a lynching 350 years in the past. Then there is a second murder, and Dalgliesh finds himself confronted by issues even more challenging than innocence or guilt.
P. D. James has gained an enviable reputation for creating detective stories of uncommon depth and intricacy, combined with the sort of humanity and perceptiveness found only in the finest novelists. The Private Patient ranks among her very best.

You won't remember Mr. Heming. He was the estate agent who showed you around your comfortable home, suggested a financial package, negotiated a price with the owner, and called you with the good news. The less good news is that, all these years later, he still has the key. That's absurd, you laugh. Of all the many hundreds of houses he has sold, why would he still have the key to mine? The answer is; he has the keys to them all. William Heming's most at home in a stranger's private things.

In the India of 1942, two rapes take place simultaneously - that of an English girl in Mayapore, and that of India by the British. In each, physical violence, racial animosity, the coercion of the weak by the strong all play their part, but playing a part too are love, affection, loyalty, and recognition that the last division of all to be overcome is the colour of the skin.

Historia
The first audiobook which appeared in Georges Simenon's famous Maigret series, in a gripping new translation by David Bellos.Inevitably Maigret was a hostile presence in the Majestic. He constituted a kind of foreign body that the hotel's atmosphere could not assimilate. Not that he looked like a cartoon policeman. He didn't have a moustache and he didn't wear heavy boots. His clothes were well cut and made of fairly light worsted. He shaved every day and looked after his hands. But his frame was proletarian. He was a big, bony man.

Max Tudor has adapted well to his post as vicar of St. Edwold's in the idyllic village of Nether Monkslip. The quiet village seems the perfect home for Max, who has fled a harrowing past as an MI5 agent. But this new-found serenity is quickly shattered when the highly vocal and unpopular president of the Women's Institute turns up dead at the Harvest Fayre. The death looks like an accident, but Max's training as a former agent kicks in, and before long he suspects foul play.

Maisie Dobbs got her start as a maid in an aristocratic London household when she was thirteen. Her employer, suffragette Lady Rowan Compton, soon became her patron, taking the remarkably bright youngster under her wing. Lady Rowan’s friend, Maurice Blanche, often retained as an investigator by the European elite, recognized Maisie’s intuitive gifts. The outbreak of war changed everything. Ten years after the Armistice, in the spring of 1929, Maisie sets out on her own as a private investigator, one who has learned that coincidences are meaningful, and truth elusive.

Historia
Cold Hand in Mine stands as one of Aickman's best collections and contains eight stories that show off his powers as a 'strange story' writer to the full. The listener is introduced to a variety of characters, from a man who spends the night in a Hospice to a German aristocrat and a woman who sees an image of her own soul. There is also a nod to the conventional vampire story ("Pages from a Young Girl's Journal") but all the stories remain unconventional and inconclusive, which perhaps makes them all the more startling and intriguing.

Great cozy mystery if you love PD James.
Would you listen to The Private Patient again? Why?
Yes - it's plot and characters are complex enough that a second or third listen could be enjoyed. PD James has a wonderful way with words and I always add to my dictionary when reading her.
Which character – as performed by Rosalyn Landor – was your favorite?
She was good with all the characters.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
It is too long for that one sitting but makes you want to get back to it right away.
Any additional comments?
PD James is my absolute favourite mystery author and this read was great. I have tried to listen to Penelope Dellaportia's reads but they fall far short of the mark so it was pleasant to find a good reader attached to one of the Queen of Crime's books! Please make more!

I liked the story ; however, I was disappointed that the wedding was an after thought. I was expecting Adam to have some deep thoughts about the marriage and his job.

Very British
Great narration, interesting premise for a "closed room" murder mystery, but endlessly drawn out descriptions sucked any suspense out of the story.

Voice of Adam Dalgliesh
I didn’t think the voice of Adam Dalgliesh was appropriate for his character after reading some of the books by P. D. James.

She tried hard
Pd James is a favorite but for the fist time, I misjudged the narrators voice when sampling before buying. Her voice, especially with the most important rendering of Dalglish, was a total distraction from an otherwise good story

Fantastic book & beautifully read
It is a very well written book. The plot is fabulous. One can glimpse some of PD James’ strong opinions through her characters & their views & makes for an exhilarating listen. This reader was so good.. I’m very impressed.

Problem with narrator.
She's good with the female voices, but the male voices tend to sound similar, very precise and even stuffy (including Dalgleish). Wish Charles Keating was still reading James; I thought he did an excellent job with The Lighthouse.

Please turn off the shower!
Would you consider the audio edition of The Private Patient to be better than the print version?
I love P.D. James despite some irritating things that persist book after book. I don't really need to bear witness to every single shower her characters take -- I'd be happy to stipulate to their probable adequate personal hygiene. And she always must bounce in at least one character I'd be willing to kill myself.
Would you be willing to try another book from P. D. James? Why or why not?
Of course, I'll go on reading (or listening) as the good far outweighs the bad.At least "The Private Patient"'s annoying characters aren't as bad as that awful cleaning woman and her thuggy sidekick who nearly ruined the wonderful "Murder Room" whining about her cottage, or the truly creepy incestuous pair that almost spoilt the excellent "Death in Holy Orders".
What about Rosalyn Landor’s performance did you like?
I liked her voice, and she didn't ham it up. As for Dalgleish, I think she read him right -- pretentious, just a bit arrogant and dare I say boring.
