Title: Dalziel and Pascoe take on child disappearances.
Review: Reginald Hill currently produces some of the most intelligent and best written mysteries on the market. On Beulah Height (the 17th Dalziel and Pascoe novel) is a fine series entry and should appeal to long-time Hill fans and new readers alike.A town in Yorkshire doomed by a reservoir project had been the scene of a terrifying series of child disappearances 15 years ago. Dalziel had been one of the investigating officers on the case. The prime suspect was never caught. The case is reopened when the disappearances begin again, and Dalziel finds the original cast of characters reassembled, with some in surprising new roles.If you are new to Hill as a writer, you are in for a real treat. He has been called the golden age detective writer for our own time, and the title is well deserved. His mysteries are witty, erudite, funny and full of strong and well-written characters. On Beulah Height is a good example of his work, and I would recommend it.
