The Death of Dalziel Audiobook (Unabridged)

" One of my all time favorite series. In this outing Dalziel is gravely injured during a bomb blast and Pascoe feels he must solve the crime and his actions become Dalziel like. "

" Reginald Hill is one of only two mystery writers whom I never tire of. Chritie, Sayers, Peters, Perry, Grafton, Mosley...I kept reading all of them after the charm had worn of, just because they provided reliable escape reading. But Hill, along with Elizabeth George, writes such richly developed characters and intruiging stories--and in Hill's case, with so much great humor--that I am amazed with each new book at how good it is. Death Comes for the Fat Man ls as good as I was expecting, and that is saying a lot. "

" I have read all of his books. I hope he never dies. "

" The latest Daziel and Pascoe...funny and erudite as ever. My vote for best British mystery writer. "

" Andy Dalziel spends most of this book in a coma, and it is up to his "sidekick" Peter Pascoe to move the action along. I like this series and this was a good one of the genre. "

" I was a bit disappointed, love the tv series just not a very convincing plot can't really see Pete Pascoe as a spook!!!! "

" Reginald Hill deserves much kudos for his description of death. Imagine Ingmar Bergman's dance of death mixed with a soupcon of monty python & garnished with a fine single malt. Thoroughly enjoyable - knowing full well the outcome in advance I still wept :-) "

" I love this Pascoe and Dazeil series. I wasn't too surpsised at the ending, but loved it just the same "

" What a cracking read. I can't believe I've never come across this author before. The joy is that he's been writing for years! Just orderd the first in the series and I'll get them all eventually "

" Fun and crazy as most of his are but not, I think, his best. "

" It cannot be! The death of the fat Yorkshire detective!? Dalziel's demise does not dampen one's enjoyment of this superb, literate thriller. "

" Surprisingly readable. Made me want to live in Yorkshire almost as much as All Creatures Great and Small. "

" An exciting mystery story which leaves you guessing all the way through. Although its not the same without Dalziel dominating and calling the shots... "

" One of my fav Dalziel and Pascoes. "

" Excellent, as always!! "

" Hill back to his old best with this one! I did go off the mysteries for a while, but this is quick witted and well paced while retaining all that english steadiness we love in UK crime fiction. Good to see old friends back in form! "

" Brilliant as ever from Reginald Hill. Total fantasy but happy to suspend disbelief for such great writing. Great characters which lift you above the mundanities of real life. "

" I love the character of Andy, but in this book Peter Pascoe has a chance to mature as a character. Getting a glimpse of Andy's personal heaven is a great twist. "

" Hill is back in top form. I got angry with him after reading the laborious Death's Jest-Book but this has plenty of Fat Andy even though he is in a coma throughout most of the book. "

" I love this series, the fat and coarse Andy De-el (Dalziel) and Peter Pascoe, his Oxbridge partner. Erudite, scary, good mysteries. "

" This whole series is intriguing and well written. The interplay betwee Dalziel and Pascoe is always thought-provoking and usually hilarious. "

" I was a bit disappointed, love the tv series just not a very convincing plot can't really see Pete Pascoe as a spook!!!! "

" Good Read A little more challenging than most police procedurals "

" This book by Reginald Hill was a good read, a very enjoyable read. The characters are well known and loved and the action was good. J. Robert Ewbank author "John Wesley, Natural Man, and the 'Isms'" "

" I love all of his books! He's an amazing writer. "

" I have read all of his books. I hope he never dies. "

" A complex police procedural that reads more mainstream than genre. Well told and well performed by the audio narrator. Many characters to keep track of, but all well delineated. I will look for more in this series. "

" Great mystery series with recurring characters "

" Genre is a limiting function on writers, tending to cast them as a "detective" fiction writer, or a "sf" writer. Reading Hill is to read a writer in the fullest sense. "

" A fune read. daziel and pasco play off each other well "
