I have just started on the Dalgliesh series, having really enjoyed the TV series way back in the Pleistocene. Making the usual allowances for a first-of-series, I was very impressed, and so far book two is not bad either. Dalgliesh in the first book reminded me of less pretentious, less snobby/effete version of Ngaio Marsh's Roderick Alleyn, perhaps something of a blend between Alleyn and the later Campion. Definitely interesting enough for me to try the first four or five for a taste.
