Product Description

Synopsis

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent who dunnit, 17 Nov 2000

This review is from: A Killing Kindness: A Dalziel and Pascoe Novel (Dalziel & Pascoe Novel) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is Hill on top form. The dour Dalziel works splendidly with the softer Pascoe to build the tension in this tightly plotted murder. There are moments of genuine spine tingling thrill here which pleased me greatly.

2.0 out of 5 stars Down Hill, 30 Aug 2005
By Frank "ffello4" (Heidelberg, Germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Killing Kindness: A Dalziel and Pascoe Novel (Dalziel & Pascoe Novel) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is not Hill at his best as the previous reviewer claims. This, I think, is Hill at almost his worst. I love the Dalziel & Pascoe books and have been impressed by Hill's literary knowledge and references, his close attention to detail, his sly wit, his effective vocabulary, his character development, and his engrossing style. This is an early Dalziel & Pascoe (copyright originally 1980) and it shows throughout. The fat man and Pascoe are still caricatures and the story line is somewhat thin and bounces all over the place. His more recent works present a more well-rounded Dalziel (figuratively and metaphorically), a more compassionate Pascoe, and a number of other recurring characters who have become human instead of stick figures. Still, Hill, even early Hill, is mostly a treat.
