content: "On Beulah Height" has been well reviewed already. I can add only that it is very strong writing by the ever reliable Reginald Hill on a gut-wrenching and dark subject. This is the author in a very serious mode meditating on the chilling experience of threats to one's children. Very little room for Hill's famous humor and wit here. A wonderful story though that adds to this author's stock as on of the best mystery writers at work in the English language. Recommended.
