Book Log 2007 #35: Death of an Expert Witness by P. D. James

The last of the vacation books, it's easily the best of the older Dalgliesh books I've read. A killing at a forensic lab throws suspicion on just about everyone, with the added complications of how the killer managed to get at the victim in the first place.

Good balance between the personal lives of the lab workers and other characters with the procedural aspects of the case. The solution did seem to appear out of thin air a bit, I think. Still, a solid member of the series.
