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!

The author repeats himself a good deal which is tedious but all in all the plot was enjoyable.
Jonathan Keeble was excellent, as always.
Enjoyable

Reginald Hill’s wonderful character, Andy Dalziel, is brought to vivid life in the narration by Jonathan Keeble.
So much so that it’s worth a search to see what else Keeble has done. Sure enough, there he is, already in my library, having narrated Lorna Doone. That too was a flawless performance.
Keeble never makes you think of “the narrator;” instead, he puts you right inside each character.
The story itself is a romp, if you can use that description for a grisly murder mystery. It’s a lot of fun, with unexpected twists and turns. It’s Hill’s detective Dalziel who puts all other characters in the shade.
Dalziel excellently portrayed by narrator Jonathan Keeble

Dalziel a totally original creation--so incomparable.Any additional comments?

What made the experience of listening to A Cure for All Diseases the most enjoyable?
the language and accents, the humor. Dalziel is a wonderful, unique character.Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Not exactly. The plot was a bit confusing. I enjoyed The Woodcutter much more.Have you listened to any of Jonathan Keeble’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
He is excellent.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
noAny additional comments?
I really enjoyed The Woodcutter and decided to hear other Reginald Hill books. Unfortunately I found this confusing, too many similar characters and a rather convoluted plot. But it was completely entertaining, and I'll try others. I'd like to know which Reginald Hill books are considered the best by other readers.a bit confusing

I was blue, I mourned. I mourned the real death of Dalziel, whom I'd followed from his debut in the 1970's with A Clubbable Woman.
But then I saw this, A Cure for All Diseases, on Audible and remembered that I had missed a few in the series. I snapped this up and had one of my best Audible listens in a really long time.
This book has excellent narration - Jonathan Keeble is the essence of Dalziel! The storyline is good - a little different than the others in the series as, for the first few chapters/ maybe half the book, it is narrated in the first person via letters and spoken diary. But super well done.
If you like Dalziel, or like good and sometimes funny British police procedurals, you'll love this one.
Best Listen in a Long While
