Book Log 2007 #2: A Certain Justice by P. D. James
Once again Adam Dalgliesh is called upon to solve a murder, this time of a London barrister in her chambers whose body has also been desecrated in a way that may or may not be related to the killing.
From the few Dalgliesh mysteries I've read, I've always been impressed with how a series can be built around someone who appears in so little of the book. I'm assuming he was more central of a character in earlier entries; regardless, it underscores the job James does in creating the story that she can pull this off as successfully as she does.
Recommended, of course.
