What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

Looking for a British police series. Main detective is a man but he has a male and female as his two assistants. One book has them trapped on an island in an older home where vacationing (recovering) people are staying and one was killed. Another has them back at home and the two assistants are often off individually investigated different leads to solve the crime-typically each faces great peril before the climax. One of the books had her driving a long way to interview a man the reader know is the killer and it was so suspenseful as she is driving and the main detective is putting all the pieces together and the reader is hoping he figures it out before she gets to his house-he doesn’t but it all works out thankfully. Loved these books-read maybe 10-15 years ago?

Amy, is this the same book you asked about in this thread - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... ?

It sounds like The Private Patient by P. D. James to me... there's a whole series of Dalgliesh books, but that one fits the description best.

Solved! Thank you. It is definitely the Adam Dalgliesh series!
