| | Asking for the Moon - Reginald Hill (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30) |
 | | Reginald Hill brings them to life on paper, and Graham Roberts brings them to life on tape in a recording so completely satisfactory that it's hard to imagine anyone else doing it any other way. |
 | | Now, Hill's loyal readers are presented with four novellas that, in turn, introduce the pair, let each take a rare solo detecting flight and, perhaps weirdest of all, enter a space-age future for an almost absurd swansong for the mismatched twosome. |
 | | As always, Hill enjoys tampering with the traditions of the genre and these four works serve less as working narratives than as welcome changes of pace that incorporate character studies, intimate and unguarded moments and flights of pure fancy. |
