On top form! (1/1 people found this helpful)

I won't give the plot away but this was Dalziel & Pascoe at its best. I'm in the middle of re-reading it and enjoying it all the more second time around.

A return to form for Hill (8/8 people found this helpful)

I loved this book. I have read every Dalziel and Pascoe book and looked forward to each new one with delight. With Arms and The Woman however I thought Hill had finally lost the plot, and I was so disappointed I have never approached them in the same way since. Luckily this is a classic and a real return to form. Pascoe goes it alone in this one with Fat Andy hovering between life and death caught up in what looks like a terrorist explosion. Having said that, Dalziel dominates the book as usual, leaving Pascoe desperately trying to catch up. Hector gets to shine here too, becoming a much more rounded and interesting character. Fantastic.

This is the book Peter Robinson wishes he'd written (3/5 people found this helpful)

After a couple of what I consider to be slowish, overly "intellectual" tomes, Hill is seriously back on form with a witty and fast-paced story. Part of the denouement is a bit obvious but there is a surprise or two around the corner as well. Does Dalziel Die?

Not telling!
