About this title: On the surface, Dr. Lorrimer is the picture of a bloodless, coldly efficient scientist. But after he is brutally slain, Chief Inspector Dalgliesh learns there was obviously more to the man than what met the eye.

"Fun, engaging mystery. I am just getting into these (following my mom's and sister's nose-in-book footsteps), so I wonder if I will get better at figuring out the twists before they come!"
"My first P. D. James, and a good one. Her gift of telling a story without reducing it to bare plot bones is superb. She manages to keep her characters as real as she keeps the tension high."
"P.D. James is another one of my favorite authors. The settings are usually small villages in England. Her plots contain many twists. Her books are loaded with suspects which makes it a juicy ride through to the finish. Chief Inspector Adam Dalgliesh is on the case to find the murderer of Dr. Lorrimer, who works in the police forensic lab. Nothing is as it seems. Plenty people have a motive to want him dead. James develops each character's story with precision. The ending is satisfying. I really enjoyed this book."
