Product Description

From Library Journal

As Inspector Dalziel and partner Pascoe work unofficially to refute new evidence concerning a 1963 case, they threaten to unearth various nasty political secrets. Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 6/1/92.
Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

From AudioFile

The re-examination of a murder case laid to an uneasy rest 27 years earlier leads Detective Superintendent Dalziel across Wales and the eastern seaboard of the United States. He unravels an affair of Byzantine complexity, demanding close attention from the listener. The rewards are great, however. Glover has a rich, pleasing voice and projects a lively intelligence. His American characters sound like New York gangsters, but maybe that's how Dalziel hears them. Most listeners will be too engrossed in the story to worry about it. J.N. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

4.0étoiles sur 5 A Fascinatingly twisty plot!, Mars 31 2008
Par Ian Gordon Malcomson (Smithers, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Recalled to Life (Paperback)
The year was 1963 and the Macmillan government in Britain was being hit with the fallout of the scandal of the century in the form of the salacious and treacherous revelations of the Profumo Affair.With this in the foreground, a little known case from the distant past involving the alleged murder of a Mrs. Westropp by her lover, Lord Mickledore, at his country estate resurfaces with a whole lot of unanswered questions. There are some obvious injustices that have to be addressed because one of the parties wrongfully convicted and punished for the crime has now been released and has a story to tell. This is where the dangerous dual of Dalziel(old cop) and Pascoe(new cop) come to the rescue to get to the bottom of this case that cries out for answers. One man has been hanged for the homicide, a nanny for the Westropp children has served a lengthy jail sentence for being party to it, and various involved parties are staking each other's moves out as to what they actually know about the offence. There is that niggling question that hangs over the whole story: who killed Westropp's wife and why. These two detectives will go on an extensive and engrossing hunt to find answers to questions that got brushed over in the earlier investigation. Hill produces both a serious and funny account of how these two private detectives go about their business, ruffling feathers, gently teasing and coaxing out evidence that brings them to the beside of the real culprit some years later. To echo a famous chapter in "Tale of Two Cities", Hill definitely creates a very believable recalling to life, through the dogged and clever efforts of these two private-eyes, of a part of the past that many of the main characters would rather forget. This book and its series is worth reading for the story along.

5.0étoiles sur 5 English language, British humor at its best..., Jui 7 2002
Par K. L Sadler (Freedom, Pa. USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Recalled to Life (Paperback)
Reginald Hill's books on Dalziel/Pascoe make me laugh. One of the best things that can be said about any author is that they make you laugh! If they can do it while spinning a pretty good plot in the mystery genre, they have my admiration. Hill's cop-duet are an odd couple. I know the prevalence of 'odd couples' in mysteries has been done and overdone, but Hill brings a breath of fresh air to the genre with these two. I know I couldn't possibly stand either Dalziel or Pascoe alone through a whole book, hence they play off of one another to keep the reader interested and the plot interesting.

Now granted, every once in a while Hill feels he has to authenticate his cops with language I would prefer not to read. But...having been around some military and a few cops, I would not be surprised if they do talk like this except around women and children. Hill's books have enough good writing to make up for the occasional lapse into raunchy language.

This book combines not just a murder mystery but also incorporates a bit of the spy genre in here, as it involves both American CIA and British royalty in the murder. The plot becomes convoluted throughout the book since the people originally in the house at the time of the 'accidental' shooting not only do not stay in Britain, but they don't even stay married to the same people. It's a bit of a strain at times keeping people separated, but worth it.

I got a huge kick out of Dalziel's visit to America, and much of the language. I always have wished I had the knack of someone like Dalziel, who is an older British curmudgeon, to administer dry, humorous put-downs...I am not sure if someone like him would make it in the 'real world' without more diplomatic abilities than he seems willing to be bothered with...so he really does need Pascoe to smooth things over and 'cover his rear'.

A totally enjoyable reading...

A good read but keep a dictionary handy. I've never seen ectopic, boscage, and tesselated in one sentence before.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Sexual intercourse began in 1963 (and very British scandals)
For some reason 1963 is a landmark year in British culture. Kim Philby defected. The Profumo affair (prostitutes and politicians - a potent mix) broke. Read more
