Why can't I find a doctor who will prescribe "sea air" for my nerves so I can spend a summer in a picturesque costal town in England "for my health" only to be caught up in a local scandal and forced to solve a murder?

@MostlyHarmless Sure! Just fill out this survey.

I misread that as "Prissy Belgian top."
This is Mastodon, after all.
It looks like most of you prefer the Miss Marple / Father Brown life. Carry on up the vicarage, and all that. I thought Poirot might have made a better showing, though he did come in a distant second place. Not many people seem to be fans of the Stephanie Plum / Mona Lisa Vito sort of sleuthing, but my heart is warmed that Kinky Friedman's detective novels are appreciated here.
