It also demonstrates that Reginald Hill gets better with each mystery. Hill's polished, sophisticated novels A Clubbable Woman (Dalziel & Pascoe intelligently written and permeated with his Book 1) and delightful sense of humor. His humor touches both his realisticsympathetic characters and his descriptions of life in small English towns. More than most other mystery novels, Hill's Dalziel-Pascoe novels are enjoyable as much for their characters as for their complicated, suspenseful mystery plots. The relationship between Dalziel and Pascoe allows Hill to make good use of his humor and his insight into human nature. Peter Pascoe and his boss, Andy Dalziel, could not be more different. Dalziel is a lower-class veteran policemana huge, middle-aged man with a grizzled head. He is a tactless, chauvinistic boor; yet he is also a shrewd and cunning detective. The equally shrewd Pascoe is young, middle class, university educated, and progressive in his attitudes. He is also tall, dark- haired, and good-looking. Although Pascoe and Dalziel approach their jobs differently, they respect each other, and they A Clubbable Woman (Dalziel & Pascoe an effective detection team. In between ''A Clubbable Woman'' and ''Deadheads,'' Hill added several continuing characters: the enigmatic Sergeant Wield; the annoying dental hygienist, Thelma Lacewing; and the most likable and interesting of the group, Pascoe's wife, Ellie, an attractive, intelligent, and very liberal college lecturer. The Dalziel-Pascoe series has traced her relationship with Peter from the renewing of their former university friendship through their marriage and the birth of their daughter. Ellie marries Peter despite her reservations about being associated with the police. She also has doubts about her suitability as a wife and mother, and her verbal bouts with Peter and Dalziel are very entertaining. Already a subscriber?

Blood Sympathy. And it's testament to Hill's ability to properly characterize that a first time reader absolutely got the sense of, of all things, a man in a coma! Driven by results, he pulls no punches. It appears that the author has set the stage for another sequel because at the end of the story, we are left wondering about what will happen next to Pascoe and Detective Constable Hat Bowler. This was fantastic: great characters, interesting plot, great writing. I've been re-reading a few books that I either remember fondly or don't remember much at all.

Woont in Broad Oak, Ravenglass, Cumbria, Engeland (foto: Droemer Knaur/krimicouch) Detectives: Superintendent Andrew ("Andy") Dalziel & inspector (later Chief Inspector) Peter Pascoe , Mid-Yorkshire, Engeland. Dalziel (spreek uit: Die-el) is een lompe, ouderwetse, nuchtere en vaak onaangename hoofdinspecteur, maar hij is ook erg scherp en behept met een zekere mate van gevoeligheid. Hij laat zich door niets en niemand om de tuin leiden. Hij kan ook buitengewoon sarcastisch zijn. Peter Pascoe is een frisse, idealistische en hoog opgeleide politieman, die 20 jaar jonger is dan Dalziel. Hij heeft een graad behaald in de sociale wetenschappen en leest boeken over criminologie. Begonnen als sergeant, klimt hij op tot chief-inspector. Hij raakt helemaal niet onder de indruk als Dalziel weer eens tegen hem tekeer gaat, maar hij heeft ook geleerd Dalziel nooit te onderschatten. In feite kunnen ze goed met elkaar opschieten, misschien wel omdat ze zo duidelijk elkaars tegenpolen zijn. Dalziel is ooit getrouwd geweest, Pascoe is getrouwd met Ellie, een psychologe die les geeft op de universiteit en boeken schrijft die niet worden uitgegeven.

    902L_tx 14/6/07 08:31 Page i Reginald Hill Reginald Hill is a native of Cumbria and a former resi- dent of Yorkshire, the setting for his outstanding crime novels, featuring Dalziel and Pascoe, ‘the best detec- tive duo on the scene bar none’ (Daily Telegraph). His writing career began with the publication of A Clubbable Woman (1970), which introduced Chief Superintendent Andy Dalziel and DS Peter Pascoe. Their subsequent appearances have confirmed Hill’s position as ‘the best living male crime writer in the English-speaking world’ (Independent) and won numerous awards, including the Crime Writers’ Association Cartier Diamond Dagger for his lifetime contribution to the genre. The Dalziel and Pascoe novels have now been adapted into a hugely successful BBC television series, star- ring Warren Clarke and Colin Buchanan. Visit www.AuthorTracker.co.uk for exclusive information on Reginald Hill i 902L_tx 14/6/07 08:31 Page ii Acclaim for The Death of Dalziel ‘Hill at his best is a masterly storyteller, and he is at his best here. His strength lies not only in a lively, even extravagant imagination, but in his ability to modulate pace, to move from rapid action to domestic scenes . he always handles the big action scenes with authority and perfect timing but one reason for the addictive quality of his novels is that he is every bit as interested in his characters’ off-duty lives . brilliant’ Spectator ‘Hill has kept the series fresh – with innovations that take the reader to surprising areas . the series’ longevity owes much to Hill’s readiness to engage with important social issues and that readi- ness is apparent in the elements that set the violence in The Death of Dalziel in motion .

I will want to read Pascoe and Dalziel again. Surely Wield would not murder to preserve his private life - but he has connections to a murder victim, and so has to explain the position and so "come out". I guess if you didn't know the characters you might suspect that Andy Dalziel was a corrupt cop. Continues… Excerpted from "A Pinch of Snuff" by. There was no difficulty, and it was as 21A Upper Maltgate that the premises were licensed to be used as a cinema club while the vigilantes of the Square slept and never felt their security being undone. The film club where the films was shown is broken into and vandalised, including burning the film, and the owner is beaten up. Her estate was first to be retained for the missing son, but paid to the charities if he didn't turn up by his 90th birthday. This makes the first appearance for both of them together and Hill uses them to bring the feeling of electricity of opposite and complementary skills which takes them both to the top most division.
