Product Description

Product Description

An English rose garden on a summer's day. A small boy watches with interest as his great-aunt cuts the deadheads off the rosebushes with a sharp knife. What could be more peaceful, more harmless? Young Patrick grows up to be a calm, pleasant man, with a good job, a wife and two children, and the best rose garden for miles around. When somebody tells the police that Patrick Aldermann is killing people, Chief Superintendent Dalziel thinks it's probably all nonsense. But Inspector Pascoe is not so sure . . . --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still possibly the best an most original Hill book, 4 July 2000
This review is from: Deadheads (Mass Market Paperback)
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 review is from: Deadheads (Mass Market Paperback)
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.
