Brilliantly written.
If your view of Dalziel and Pascoe is coloured by the TV series, think again. The way these books are written, is witty and multi dimensional. The characters are complex and well drawn, and remain consistent throughout, not changing to suit the plot. The plot bounces off them, as in real life. The humor is wry and will make you smile wherever you are. I would highly recommend this to listen to . Shaun Dooley's voice does not get in the way of the story, I would say adds to the atmosphere. I would defy the listener to guess correctly the way the story is going to end. It is a long listen, and worth every minute.

Brilliant listen
I loved the story line - the way it draws you in so you can't wait to hear the next. I have listened to the book twice and would be more than happy to listen again.

Good book irritatingly read.
I love the Dalziel and Pascoe books and was looking forward to collecting them as audiobooks to listen to whilst travelling. However here I find I am always waiting for the next mispronounced word - and there are quite a lot of them. Some may be due to an accent variation but most people don't put bucks into buckcases, luck into mirrors or phush phushchairs rather than 'pooshchairs'. There has been so much of this in the first hour that it has spoilt the book for me. Such a shame.

Reginald at his mysterious best.
This is an absolutely mind boggler of a book. There were moments when I had simply not the faintest idea of where I or the plot were going. But, Reginald Hill is not the kind of man you can desert in the middle of a tale. His prose alone is enough to keep you pinned. Simply wonderful and the denouement frankly, left me breathless. So true to life. I’m sure he must have had a good laugh when he finished this.
On to the next. On, on.

An easy 5 Stars
Involved and involving plot, absolutely delicious, witty, absorbing prose, superb characters and Shaun Dooley knocks spots off the (actually very good) Colin Buchanan as a narrator. A complete winner.

Complicated
As ever the star of the novel is the fat man and his dialogue. The plot was rather strained but the professionalism of the writing and narration kept me interested.

Convoluted but entertaining...
When Pal McIver commits suicide in a particularly elaborate way, it mirrors exactly the death of his father some ten years earlier. But were both deaths suicide? Or was one or the other – or both – murder? Dalziel had been involved in the ealrier investigation but not Pascoe, and now Pascoe finds that Dalziel seems to be obstructing the investigation into the second, possibly because of his friendship (or is it more?) with the enigmatic Kay Kafka, wife of the elder Pal and (wicked?) stepmother of the younger.
One of his more convoluted plots that touches on the big news story of the time – the war in Iraq – and involves some murky spy stuff of both the American and the British kind. Not one of my favourites, although as always with Hill, there’s much to enjoy in the interaction between the regulars, and there are some excellent one-off characters like the aforementioned Kay. I’ve read it twice now and the plot doesn’t seem to stay in my mind – too much going on in it, I think! Enjoyable, though, and moves Hat’s story on from the previous two books.
Very tired of the constant chopping and changing of narrator in this series. I wish they'd get Colin Buchanan to do the ones he's missed.
