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' Independent

'Reginald Hill stands head and shoulders above any other writer of homebred crime fiction' Tom Hiney, Observer

Product Description

‘One of the modern masters of the police procedural’ Sunday Telegraph

Peter Pascoe is in shock. A weekend in the country with old friends turns into a nightmare when he finds three of them dead and the missing fourth a prime suspect in the eyes of the local police.

They want his cooperation. Superintendent Andy Dalziel wants him back in Yorkshire where a string of unsolved burglaries look like turning nasty.

Perhaps it’s all to much for Pascoe. As events unfold, the two cases are getting jumbled in his mind…

By Mrs. K. A. Wheatley TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
I love the humanity of the relationship between Dalziel and Pascoe, full of flaws yet still endearing. This book was somewhat disjointed however, and the threads of the story don't interweave as seamlessly as normal. I didn't find it very believable, but Hill under par is still better than many writers at their best.

Not his best but... 13 May 2008
Format:Paperback
As my old English teacher once said to me, there's too many characters! Really struggled to keep track of who was who & had to keep flicking back. Less of Dalziel so not as funny as some of his other books. But as someone else said, at less than 100% he still beats most others. Only recently found Hill & he's quite simply one of the best writers I've read. For someone new to him I'd personally recommend Bones & Silence as this was the novel that hooked me. The more I read the more impressed I am.

If you are looking for a book and don't want to put it down! Then this should be the top of your list.It is a brilliant work of art by Reginald Hill.The characters of Dalziel and Pascoe work well, but in this book the focus is on Pascoe.Finding that their friends have been killed and life will not be quite the same from that moment.Pascoe works it out and the ending was just perfect. A book that you will never tirer of.Highly recomended.
