OK, I'm going to take this in a
completely different direction. I'd like to nominate PD James'
Original Sin.
From
Goodreads:
Quote:
Adam Dalgliesh takes on a baffling murder in the rarefied world of London book publishing in this masterful mystery from one of our finest novelists.
Commander Adam Dalgliesh and his team are confronted with a puzzle of impenetrable complexity. A murder has taken place in the offices of the Peverell Press, a venerable London publishing house located in a dramatic mock-Venetian palace on the Thames. The victim is Gerard Etienne, the brilliant but ruthless new managing director, who had vowed to restore the firm's fortunes. Etienne was clearly a man with enemies—a discarded mistress, a rejected and humiliated author, and rebellious colleagues, one of who apparently killed herself a short time earlier. Yet Etienne's death, which occurred under bizarre circumstances, is for Dalgliesh only the beginning of the mystery, as he desperately pursues the search for a killer prepared to strike and strike again.

There's an Audible book in Australia and North America, with the Australian narrator being a bit better, IMHO, and a very tidy WhisperSync price to go with the best ebook price as well.
This is a re-read for me, but that's also in keeping with our theme.
And it's classic PD James.
