Looking for a great mystery series?

Susan Hill has created an English town called Lafferton and its inhabitants, notably policeman Simon Serrailler.  The mysteries are smart and absorbing, but it is the characters  - Simon, somewhat mysterious himself, and his relatives and colleagues – who make these books so outstanding.  You’ll want to start at the beginning, with THE VARIOUS HAUNTS OF MEN.
