A Cure For All Diseases (2008) - Plot & Excerpts

Absolutely loved it and was sorry when it was done. Reginald Hill has done a good job of paying homage to Jane Austen's Sanditon. I'm fond of the characters in the Dalziel and Pascoe mystery series, so I was happy to see them back, but I appreciated the new narrator, the young woman who writes her sister long e-mails about the goings-on in the seaside "rest-cure" town she ends up in. Lighthearted but still a good mystery. RIP to Mr. Hill--sad to see he passed away last year. This is his last book before the one that'll be published posthumously sometime this year. One reason I've always liked Reginald Hill's books is that they are so well written, and the variety of narrative techniques in this one actually detracts from that effect. It's fun seeing the same events from different perspectives, but I can see why Charley's emails to her sister and Dalziel's tape-recorded account put some readers off. When the murder finally happens, the switch to the more familiar police-procedural mode is almost disorienting. It's still entertaining, though, and I hope there's more Pascoe and Dalziel to come.
