Product Description

Review
'Few writers in the genre today have Hill's gifts: formidable intelligence, quick humour, compassion and a prose style that blends elegance and grace' Donna Leon, Sunday Times 'The finest male English contemporary crime writer' Val McDermid 'Reginald Hill's novels are really dances to the music of time, his heroes and villains interconnecting, their stories intertwining' Ian Rankin 'One of Britain's most consistently excellent crime novelists' The Times 'These novels last, like a grand malt whisky -- rounded, rich, intoxicating! Here is an author at his formidable best' Frances Fyfield, Mail on Sunday 'So far out in front that he need not bother looking over his shoulder' Sunday Telegraph 'He is probably the best living male crime writer in the English-speaking world' Andrew Taylor, Independent 'Reginald Hill stands head and shoulders above any other writer of homebred crime fiction' Tom Hiney, Observer

Product Description
'Humour and topicality along a cold enigmatic trail of murder' Observer Life is a bed of roses for Patrick Aldermann when Great Aunt Florence collapses into her Madam Louis Laperrieres and he inherits Rosemont House with its splendid gardens. But when his boss, 'Dandy' Dick Elgood, suggests to Peter Pascoe that Aldermann is a murderer -- then retracts the accusation -- the inspector is left with a thorny problem. By then Police Cadet Singh, Mid-Yorkshire's first Asian copper, had dug up some very interesting information about Patrick's elegant wife Daphne. Superintendent Dalziel, meanwhile, is attempting to relive the days of Empire with Singh as his tea-wallah.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still possibly the best an most original Hill book, 4 Jul 2000
This is a very peculiar mystery. It's impossible to explain why without spoilering the fun for readers, but I was really exhilarated by the conclusion. It has one of Hill's most intriguing and fascinating characters, Patrick Alderman, the lover of roses, and the usual cast of recurring characters - Peter and Ellie Pascoe, Dalziel, Wield - is drawn with the usual warmth and humor. Of all the Dalziel and Pascoe books I have read, and I have read them all, this is the one that I still find most memorable. To all the people who have never read a Hill mystery, I can only say: try them. They're clever, they're fun, they're written superbly, they entertain, touch and warm you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Deliciously disturbing, 20 Nov 2000
By Mrs. K. A. Wheatley "katywheatley" (Leicester, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This is one of Hill's darker works and has some particularly gruesome deaths, which appealed to me greatly! It has a fantastic twist which it would be unfair to explain, but I urge you to read it. It is one of his best works. The juxtaposition of the nurturing of the roses and the slew of deaths around them is fantastic and the plotting is taut and suspenseful.
