ReviewsPraise for Reginald Hill "Reginald Hill delivers literate, complex, and immensely satisfying thrillers." -- Orlando Sentinel "Reginald Hill is quite simply one of the best at work today." -- The Boston Globe "An excellent English author of crime fiction." -- Los Angeles Times Book Review "Reginald Hill has raised the classical British murder mystery to new heights . . . in the Agatha Christie tradition." -- The New York Times Book Review "Reginald Hill's novels deserve to be read in fine surroundings--perhaps in a leather chair by a crackling fire with a good sherry in your hand and a loyal hound at your feet. Or if that Agatha Christie stage set isn't available, at least read Hill's mysteries in a quiet place where you can savor his acrobatic prose, his sour lemon wit, his intricate puzzle plots." --Maureen Corrigan, The Washington Post "One of Britain's most consistently excellent crime novelists." -- The Times (London) "A lot of people write classic detective stories, but Reginald Hill is one of the elite few who write classy classics." -- The Baltimore Sun "The British author's faultless writing, ironic wit and--above all--recognizably human characters defy limiting his police stories to the mystery category." -- Publishers Weekly "The real joy of the Dalziel-Pascoe books is the writing and the characterization. Mr. Hill has such disparate writers as Trollope, Beerbohm, Sayers and Shaw in his blood." -- The New York Times "One of the masters of the modern police procedural." -- The Sunday Telegraph "Hill is never predictable." -- Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Series Volume Number4
SynopsisA detective is drawn to a newly widowed woman in this "darkly funny" British murder mystery in the Gold Dagger Award-winning series ( Kirkus Reviews ). With his partner away on a honeymoon, Yorkshire detective Andrew Dalziel tries to beat the blues by taking a vacation of his own. But after getting caught in a torrential rain and running into a funeral procession, he winds up accompanying a crowd of upper-class mourners to a crumbling country house. Dalziel isn't known for his elegant manners, but he has bigger problems than not fitting in: The owner of the home has died under unusual circumstances, and soon more bodies are turning up. And while Dalziel finds himself undeniably attracted to the widow, he knows that she, and everyone in the family, is a suspect. "Hill's high standards of humor and civilized characterization are intact here, and justice and ambiguity are served in satisfactory fashion." - Publishers Weekly Praise for Reginald Hill "Hill's polished, sophisticated novels are intelligently written and permeated with his sly and delightful sense of humor . . . Enjoyable as much for their characters as for their complicated, suspenseful mystery plots." - The Christian Science Monitor, A detective is drawn to a newly widowed woman in this "darkly funny" British murder mystery in the Gold Dagger Award-winning series ( Kirkus Reviews ).
