I very much enjoyed A Cure for All Diseases by Reginald Hill, probably the best of the Dalziel & Pascoe novels I've recently read. Dalziel is convalescing at a private clinic after his recent brush with death. The clinic is by the seaside and the town is dominated by a very strong woman, Lady Denham, who has a number of enemies. There are some murders in this "tranquil" town and Pascoe sets about finding the killer or killers and trying to have as little input from Dalziel as he can. There are a number of interesting characters, including a precocious 9 year old who does make an interesting contribution to the investigation. 41/2/5
