Then Sergeant (later Inspector) Peter Pascoe also appears; he is very bland and introspective as compared to his flamboyant boss, but has his moments (though I'm not sure I fully appreciate his left-wing feminist wife Ellie Soper and their 'trials and tribulations').
Dalziel, in particular, has not come into his true form yet and is rather out of his element here, even his accent only vaguely Yorkshire, and he is not as intimidating as he later becomes.
Here, it turns out that Pascoe's great-grandfather was executed for cowardice by his own side at Ypres, but this is now only coming out because of P's grandmother's (the daughter's) recent death, and her odd request that her ashes be scattered all over the regimental museum.

Despite having regularly watched the adaptations of Hill's Dalziel and Pascoe novels on the BBC, this was the first time I've read one of his novels.
One of the things that sets Dalziel and Pascoe above most other detective series is that the murders that occur in them don't seem to have just occurred to give us our death for the week with a cast of likely suspects.
Like Dalziel, he's a man out of place, a university graduate in a police force that still thinks 'too clever by half' is a valid criticism, and he gets to see all the parts of Dalziel, understanding his boss on a level that others can't attain.
