Death Reports to a Health Resort by P.J. Fitzsimmons, Tim Bruce (narrator)

Inspector Wittersham is after Anty's uncle Pim, but Anty knows that his uncle couldn't have murdered the head of the health resort set in Epping Forest. So, the two are off, to a resort that doesn't let you do anything fun like gamble, drink alcohol, or smoke. Basically nothing fun. And they have a hound dog, Diogenes, that ferrets out all illicit material. 

Pim seemsm like the most obvious suspect because he actually threatened the man the day before. He swears that isn't the case, and Anty is ready to solve the case. His attempts at sneaking in his beloved alcohol are generally thwarted and Wittersham is sans his cigarettes and getting even testier than usual. 

Another amazing read from Fitzsimmons though not as sprightly as some other stories.
