What a Day!,
By
This review is from: Midnight Fugue (Hardcover)
Andy Dalziel (the "Fat Man") is still recovering from the after-effects of injuries (and a coma) resulting from an explosion two novels ago. But he ignores medical advice and returns to his duties as Detective Superintendent, albeit a little shakily. Is it time to turn over the reins to his protégé, Pascoe? Or does he still have that flair and intuition?
This novel takes place in a 24-hour period in which, at the beginning. Dalziel is contacted by a woman, Gina Wolfe, whose London policeman husband disappeared seven years ago. About to be remarried after he has been declared legally dead, she receives a newspaper clipping with a picture in which her husband appears. She wants proof one way or another that he is dead and seeks Andy's help. The plot broadens from this point in several ways, introducing all manner of characters from a couple of thugs to a possible future Prime Minister. The interaction between Andy and his colleagues (not to mention the rest of the world) remains humorous and still tickles the reader's funny bone. Tight plotting, with twists and turns, keeps one turning pages to see what comes next. "Fugue" is on the high plane of this series, and is highly recommended.

A Complex, Intriguing, Well-written Mystery,
By
This review is from: Midnight Fugue (Hardcover)
I'm a late-comer to the Dalziel and Pascoe mystery series, but after reading Midnight Fugue, I've become a convert. This last book is a good place for a newcomer to start because it is one of the best books published in 2009. The story interweaves multiple plot lines into an overall theme with a dexterity that will intrigue readers. The conclusion is very satisfying, so resist the urge to read the ending before completing the book.

Dalziel is back!,
By
This review is from: Midnight Fugue (Hardcover)
Once again Peginald Hill gives us a great plot and a great resolution.
Dalziel is as witty as ever with laugh out loud punchlines. If you are a fan of these novels you won't be diappointed.
