Title: The best psychological mystery writer's best mystery!
Review: Reginald Hill does an awesome job of weaving together many multicolored threads in this book. Each plotline is beautifully spun out, each character believably inhabited, as always, but "Death's Jest-Book" raises to a new level the question of who-done-what that Hill has used to tantalize readers in previous books. Be sure to read "Dialogues of the Dead" before you open this, or you'll miss half its power. "Jest-Book" and "Dialogues" are probably the best detective stories I've read in 30 years.
