Customer Review: Hill's Dalziel and Pascoe books can't come quickly enough for me. I just love this series, and I love the characters. In this book we see a vulnerable Dalziel trying to return to work after a lengthy time in hospital and recovery after he was blown up in a terrorist bomb. The book's action all takes... more info
Customer Review: A fine adventure of Dalziel's post-bombing recovery (in fact, better than the book he was "bombed" in), BUT it was/is published under two different titles!! "The Price of Butcher's Meat" is THE SAME BOOK as "A Cure for all Diseases" Don't be tricked into buying both (like me). In fact, I... more info
Customer Review: The worst ending ever. I was so disappointed with this book. The character of the wife is awful.

It... more info
Customer Review: I am an admirer of Reginald Hill. His characters, Dalziel and Pascoe, have helped me spend many happy hours with their adventures. This, however, is not his best moment. The book focuses on the disappearance of young girls. Illness of Pascoe's daughter sharpens the feelings for the loss of a child.... more info
Customer Review: It is nice to see Reginald Hill's characters -- Dalziel and Pascoe -- appear again in new editions.
For those familiar with Hill's books, it is a chance to return to good characterization and plots. For those familiar with the old TV series, the characters come to life and it is easy to... more info
