A Mind to Murder Audiobook

" I had never read this early book of James'. She is awesome. "

" The third Adam Dalgliesh mystery, with the murder set in a luxe psychiatric clinic in London. Didn't enjoy it quite as much as the others I've read; characters seemed less well-drawn. But it appeased my worry that all P.D. James mysteries ended with the same kind of solution. "

" It was alright. I found it difficult to follow all the characters in the beginning. Couldn't keep it straight who was who. "

" I had never read this early book of James'. She is awesome. "

" I enjoy P.D. James mysteries and so this one was no different. "

" I listened to this on tape, which I almost never do, but it works with mysteries. Although Penelope Dellaporta slides over from reading into some pretty terrible acting when the tensions rise. Her voice got a bit grating. "

" Pretty good, but not great. Dalgliesh is harder to warm up to than some other British detectives I enjoy reading. I keep comparing him to Richard Jury in Martha Grimes's books, and he comes up short - so far. This is only the second of the series that I've read, so I'll give it at least one more shot. "

" Administrator of private psychiatry clinic found dead in file storage room. Suspects include shrinks, nurses, administrative assistants, and porters. Kind of weird, but kept me reading. The ending was full of surprises; maybe too many. "

" An earlier A.D. book. Almost finished. So far so good. One of her earlier books. Kinda brief, but good. "

" Really enjoyed this. A good mystery. "

" Really enjoyed this. A good mystery. "

" A good one - just sad I'm running out. "

" LIstened to this one- I always enjoy P.D. James' books! This one was not her best, but still good. "

" An earlier A.D. book. Almost finished. So far so good. One of her earlier books. Kinda brief, but good. "

" good solid story, though probably more about Dalgleish than the crime "

" Second book with same inspector. A very nice writing style, a quick read and a plausible ending--only a little expected. James is diving into her main character more and it's enjoyable. "

" Not quite as good as "Cover Her Face" but I enjoyed it. "

" Book 2 in the Adam Dalgleish series. It's well-written and well-plotted. I prefer to have more insight into the detective in a mystery series; on the other hand, PD James creates a well-fleshed out environment for Dalgleish (and the reader) to explore. I will read more. "

" Didn't care for this one as much as the first two books in the Adam Dalgliesh series. Maybe I read too many of them in a row. "

" Looking forward to reading another P.D. James book with Dalgliesh as the lead character. "

" Another delightful, tightly woven, and well-written murder mystery by P. D. James. "

" Second book with same inspector. A very nice writing style, a quick read and a plausible ending--only a little expected. James is diving into her main character more and it's enjoyable. "

" I have almost completed this series and am going back and writing my reviews. I guess the thing that I would say about PD James is that she is a good writer, but not a "pop" writer..her mysteries are comfortable reads, yet most are forgettable. "

" Why, oh why did I wait so late in life to begin reading P D James? Even when she makes us think the killer has been revealed, she switches things on us! The character of the detective inspector Dalgliesh is a multi-leveled human who keeps getting more and more interesting. "

" I liked this better than Cover her face. Great characters and a fun stiuation. I was disappointed in the ending. A bit dull. "

" Not great, but not awful, either. Fairly plain little mystery. I'm sure I'm upsetting fans of this series, but I was never really caught up in the story or characters. It starts as a drawing room mystery, but the finish left me confused and disappointed. "

" Loved this mystery! P.D. James is an amazing puzzle-mistress! "

" Murder has been done at a psychiatric clinic beset by professional rivalries, potential funding cuts from the NHS, sloppy record keeping and a few slightly insane therapists. Adam Dalgliesh has to sort it all out--he does so with the aid of clue from the clinic cat. "

" Written more like an Agatha Christie book, than her later works. "

" A thinner Dagleish mystery. "

" I had forgotten how much I enjoyed P.D. James mysteries. This was very good, and I enjoyed listening to it. I will listen to more... "

" Liked the second in the series even better than the first. I'm weighing if the author cheated or was clever by having a victim and suspect with the same last name! "

" first in the series, and maybe it was the narrator, but this was very dry, ended abruptly, but will try another one "

" This book I really liked. "

" Not as complex or interesting as later James. "

" Dull. Murder wasn't very challenging or particularly original. Characters weren't interesting. "

" Everybody knew the administrative head of the Steen Psychiatric Clinic was not well liked; however, no one expected to find her with a chisel in her heart. The most likely suspects all have alibis. What a challenge for Inspector Dalgleish. "

" Probably my least favorite pd james. The book is very heavy on the procedures and activities of the institution. Very little character development like she usually does. "

" The first of a package of several mysteries sent me! I've been plowing through them and can see why people get addicted to these. "
