Product Description

From AudioFile

DEADHEADS is one of the many books in the justifiably popular Dalziel and Pascoe series. In this case, the pair are investigating a series of fatalities that may be murders or an extremely happy set of coincidences for the prime suspect. Colin Buchanan has starred as Peter Pascoe in three of the BBC Dalziel and Pascoe episodes, so his Peter Pascoe is perfect. His Dalziel also sounds just right--as rudely intemperate as a reader of the series would expect. In fact, all of the characters are entirely believable and distinctly individual, from blue-collar Yorkshire to educated lady. A terrific performance. R.E.K. (c) AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Product Description

When Patrick Aldermann's great aunt collapses he inherits Rosemont House with its splendid gardens. When Pascoe's boss suggests Aldermann is a murderer, Pascoe is left with a thorny problem. Meanwhile Police Cadet Singh has dug up some interesting information about Patrick's elegant wife, Daphne.

5.0�toiles sur 5 The Art of Cutting Down Those Deadheads, Juil 29 2009

Par	Ian Gordon Malcomson (Smithers, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Deadheads (Paperback)

This Pascoe and Dalziel crime thriller has everything going for it. Two great sleuths pursuing two baffling cases of different magnitudes, each demanding the highest degree of patience and determination, each encountering a slew of diverging clues meant to drive lesser mortals to utter distraction. Making this an especially great read is the landscape our two detectives have to cross before they get to the truth of the matter, whether it be murder or vandalism. There are many surprises in store for the reader as they follow the separate investigations of the the secret lifestyles of aspiring gentry and discontented youth. The metaphor of a rose garden with its many deadheads is very appropriate to the outcome of this story. As Pascoe and Dalziel 'deadhead' or eliminate the clues to their particular inquiry, as a good gardener prunes his or her roses, what come to light is an outcome that yields some very interesting and startling developments. Aldermann, on whom the main plot is based, is not quite what we thought he was from the outset. As the story deepens with each new clue and strange turn of event, Hill gives his reader a chance to enjoy the humor of seeing a story become complete. There is a chance that truth is stranger and more inconvenient than than we would like. What comes out at the end often bears little resemblance to what triggered it all at the beginning. Nothing eludes the critical eye of the famous duo as they uncover the private lives of those who pique their suspicions. Great read for those of us who like to be drawn in an ever-widening search for answers in the seeming world of unrelated happenings.

5.0�toiles sur 5 Yikes...an oldie but goodie!, Juil 31 2002

Par	K. L Sadler (Freedom, Pa. USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Deadheads (Mass Market Paperback)

This one was definitely way up on my list of favorites. The play on language is even funny to me, a deaf person! I figure Hill must have known about the Grateful Dead, and the resident Deadheads, who I grew up with in the Bay Area in California. The information about roses was wonderful since my Dad planted them, but certainly was not as obsessive about his flowers as Patrick.
This rather charming man is not only a fanatic about his roses, but is also (or seems to be) a man who gets rid of those in his way, financially or otherwise.

It's kind of eerie to think that we have murderers among us, but I guess if we all realize that often innocents are sent to jail, the guilty are still at large! Patrick is so unassuming and charming, that he even makes friends of Pascoe and his wife Ellie. I really liked the plot development between the two women, one who prides herself on her radical causes and the other who would normal be referred to as elitist and prissy, but is actually otherwise.

The ending again surprised me. Just put it down to the fact that Hill likes to keep his public guessing. A very well-written and humorous mystery.

4.0�toiles sur 5 One of Hill's best books, not to mention very funny, Avril 3 2002

Par	Raincitygirl (Vancouver, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Deadheads (Mass Market Paperback)

Hill's Dalziel & Pascoe novels tend to be either gutwrenchingly intense (I cried my way through The Wood Beyond) or light-hearted and fun. Deadheads is definitely in the second category. It's a slightly offbeat story about a charmingly vague accountant called Patrick Aldemann, whose boss believes he's a multiple murderer. Detective Inspector Pascoe begins to investigate Aldemann, and discovers a disturbing number of deaths which have benefited the mild-mannered gardening enthusiast. As he continues to dig, he starts to realize htere could be other, equally criminal explanations which implicate other people, but Pascoe is abruptly pulled off the case. Patrick Aldemann is one of Hill's best creations. For two hundred odd pages we puzzle over whether he's a daffy, sweet-natured eccentric who just happens to have amazingly good luck, or whether he's actually a vicious sociopath. You wouldn't think it would be funny, but it is. Although not as good as Hill's comic piece de resistance Pictures of Perfection (Hill's best book), it is certainly worth reading.
