Gently By the Shore by Alan Hunter
5.0
Gently is called in to Starmouth when a body is discovered naked on the beach. The local constabulary are confounded and have circulated pictures, but he has not been identified. Then CID George Gently comes up with the identity and the case becomes very tricky - involving counterfeit money, spies, etc. He does not endear himself to the police, but he does solve the case.
Gently is such a quiet detective, not making any judgments or decisions, but waiting for his mind to paint a picture of what happened. He is also addicted to peppermint creams and they seem to be essential to solving a case.
