Publisher Description

Peter Pascoe is in shock. A weekend in the country with old friends turns into a nightmare when he finds three of them dead and the missing fourth a prime suspect in the eyes of the local police. They want his cooperation. Superintendent Andy Dalziel wants him back in Yorkshire where a string of unsolved burglaries are turning nasty. But it is all getting too much for Pascoe?

"Since I started at the end of the Dalziel/Pascoe series it was good to go back closer to the beginning. Dalziel, Pascoe, nor Ellie Sopel weren't nearly as evolved as they at in the later books, so watching their relationships develop was almost as good as the mystery itself."

    " A very early D & P that I loved. I just finished the newest Elizabeth George which was not great. So it was nice to read something that was well done. The plot wasn't ingenius but it was all put together so well. You have to love P, he is long suffering. "

    " No, Reginald Hill is nowhere near the likes of Christie, Rendell, McDermid, George etc etc Maybe only females can write crime fiction! Could barely be bothered to find out 'who dun it' as I was losing the will to turn the pages. "

    " There was a very strong beginning to this book, but I thought things bogged down tremendously after that. The characters of Pascoe and Dalziel were better fleshed out, but the series still lives a lot to be desired for me. "
