Having travelled north to meet Stephen Collinsby, a local headmaster, Dalgliesh learns a lot more than he expected about Sharon Bateman, one of the employees at the clinic.

PD James's latest Dalgliesh mystery, dramatised by Neville Teller.

Having travelled north to meet Stephen Collinsby, a local headmaster, Dalgliesh learns a lot more than he expected about Sharon Bateman, one of the employees of Cheverell Manor, the exclusive clinic in Dorset where Rhoda Gradwyn was murdered.

The Private Patient is the latest in the long-running Dalgliesh series, and the first to be dramatised on radio before television. The entire serial will be released on CD by 大象传媒Audiobooks in June, and repeated on Radio 7 in August as part of a PD James season.

The dramatiser is Neville Teller, who also dramatised the previous Dalgliesh serial featuring Richard Derrington and Deborah McAndrew, A Taste For Death.
