...For fans of Grey?s Anatomy this is a must for you. Private Practice is an American drama show shown in England on Living TV on Thursday nights. It?s a spin off from the very popular medical drama Grey?s Anatomy. It is now in its second season. The show revolves around Dr Addison Forbes Montgomery. If you watch Grey?s Anatomy you will know that she is the ex-wife of Derek Shepherd who worked at Seattle Grace hospital with him and Meredith for a time.

About the author Phyllis Dorothy James started writing in the mid 1950s and it wasn?t until 1962 that her book was published (Cover Her Face). She was made Baroness James of Holland Park in 1991.

Rhoda is an investigative journalist, who after years of living with a disfiguring and long-standing scar decides to book herself into a private clinic (Cheverell Manor) to have it removed. What could possibly go wrong?! As you would imagine in a P D James murder mystery all is not as it seems and the Cheverell Manor holds a deadly secret... Read review
