Enter Chief Inspector Adam Dalgleish of Scotland Yard. Dr. Lorrimer is an intensely
disliked expert scientist, who doesn't seem to be short on people wishing him dead! And
dead he is in P.D. James' “Death of an Expert Witness.” James is at her best here. It takes
the brilliance of Dalgleish to flush out the real murderer--after all, there's no short list of
suspects. James in good at exploring human behavior (she's called the “queen of crime ”!)
and with the chief inspector she presents a work that is intriguing, compelling, and fun to
read.
