This one is my favorite so far. I'm reading the Dalgliesh books in their chronological order, and each one gets better. The "nightingale" is a nurse, not a singer as I presumed from the title. The depiction of the nursing school/hospital makes it seem old-fashioned, out of date even; but, counting my blessings, I'm not that familiar with such institutions. The large cast of characters—and suspects—calls for a reader's attention, an exercise well worth the effort partly because the story is quite complicated but also because James writes so well. As usual, I found the denouement a wee bit contrived but ultimately sufficiently satisfying.
