DEATH of an EXPERT WITNESS by PD James (Dalgliesh #6)

Description: Death of an Expert Witness by P. D. James #6 of 14 in the Adam Dalgliesh series A bad-tempered forensic scientist is murdered, and many of his colleagues couldn’t be less sympathetic. Commander Adam Dalgliesh must exhume the secrets of Dr. Lorrimer's laboratory in order to lay bare the murderous motive hidden in one human heart. Suspects include: the handsome, upper class lab director who’s incestuously in love with his gorgeous man-eating sister; the resentful cousin whom the victim cut out of his will because she has a lesbian lover; the gadfly handwriting expert who stands up for the put-upon biologist that the victim intended to fire; the incorrigible gossip janitor lady with the stoic miner husband; the pretty, much loved young receptionist; the victim’s bitchy co- worker; the trusty village cop who works at the front desk; the local police officer whose wife is leaving him; and, the completely tragic middle-aged hooker. The landscaping -- the fens and the clunch pit -- also play a role, since they seem to make everyone in the village slightly crazy. Packaging: Library clamshell with 15 drop-in slots (6 are unused) Condition: I purchased this book used and listened to it a couple of times. The tapes play fine. The case is cracked on the inside along the spine but still functional. The cover art is magnificent.
