About this listen

 Some say that Andy Dalziel wasn't ready for God, others that God wasn't ready for Dalziel. Either way, despite his recent proximity to a terrorist blast, the Superintendent remains firmly of this world. And, while Death may be the cure for all diseases, Dalziel is happy to settle for a few weeks' care under a tender nurse.

Convalescing in Sandytown, a quiet seaside resort devoted to healing, Dalziel befriends Charlotte Heywood, a fellow newcomer and psychologist, who is researching the benefits of alternative therapy. With much in common, the two soon find themselves in league when trouble comes to town. Sandytown's principal landowners have grandiose plans for the resort -- none of which they can agree on. One of them has to go, and when one of them does, in spectacularly gruesome fashion, DCI Peter Pascoe is called in to investigate -- with Dalziel and Charlotte providing unwelcome support.

But Pascoe finds dark forces at work in a place where medicine and holistic remedies are no match for the oldest cure of all!

Inventive way of presenting a Dalziel & Pascoe story. So well read that it's hard to believe that it is done by one person. Plenty of twists to keep you page turning and just when you think it's over there's more.

Cracking story, extremely well read

I really enjoyed this bonkers murderous romp through Sandytown. I loved Dalziel’s chats with his dictaphone Mildred, and Charlie’s hilarious emails to her sister. Jonathan Keeble’s narration was great, and he got almost all of the accents spot on. It was so entertaining and I was sorry it had to end.

My favourite yet!

Hill uses a dual narrative, unfamiliar in the Dalziel novels and it threw me at first. The story is up to standard though, the dialogue sharp and the narration excellent.

Different format but bear with it
