I assumed when The Lighthouse was published in 2005 that it would be the last mystery novel by P.D. James. After all she was 85 at that time, and so I figured PD might want to retire. Well The Private Patient is scheduled to be released on November 18, and PD is now 88. This is her fourteenth mystery featuring Commander Adam Dagliesh, the first being published in 1962. I am not going to make any further guesses about PD James retiring, but poor Adam has put in some long years for the New Scotland Yard. If you are a fan of PD's you can put your name on the list for the Private Patient now, and if you are not you might want to give them a try--they are quite fun.

Well, Spenser fought in the Korean War, so maybe the tow of them could start solving nursing home mysteries.

Wow! I thought we wouldn't see any more books by her either. Thanks for the heads-up. I just put this new title on my requests.
